Driver Sought In 2 Milton Sexual Assaults: Police

MILTON, MA – A driver is suspected of sexually assaulting two women in Milton after they got into cars they believed were "vehicles for hire." The assaults happened over three-month period, police said. In each instance, the woman was picked up outside of a club or bar in another town and driven to a location in Milton, where she was sexually assaulted and dropped off nearby, according to investigators.

Both women reported being alone at the time and getting into the car on a side street or an area not directly in front of the bar. Authorities believe the driver is targeting women who are alone and may be intoxicated.

The Milton Police Department urges people to travel in groups at night, only enter verified livery service vehicles and get into cars in a well-lit area when possible.
