Suspect charged in Georgia State assaults may be involved in another attack

ATLANTA - A Decatur man arrested and charged with the sexual assault of two female students at a Georgia State University dormitory may be suspected in a similar attack at a Carrollton college. <br> <br> Ruben Fortune, 23, was charged with two counts of aggravated sodomy and five counts of kidnapping, authorities said Tuesday. <br> <br> Five women, three of them residents, were in a Georgia State dormitory suite Dec. 2 when a man, armed with a knife, knocked on the door. <br> <br> One student opened the door and the intruder forced his way in, police said. He tied up three women with a phone cord and sexually assaulted the other two, both freshmen, before running down a nearby stairway, said Georgia State police Maj. Carlton Mullis. <br> <br> The Dec. 2 attack at Georgia State was similar to one that happened at the State University of West Georgia in April, said Tom Mackel, who works for campus police there. <br> <br> Mackel said the suspect also looked similar to the suspect described in the attack at West Georgia. <br> <br> Fortune was arrested Monday night. The suspect is not a student at the school, Mullis said. <br> <br> Police said that they matched DNA evidence from Chap Stick left in the dorm to a 1999 sexual assault. <br> <br> Fortune also was arrested on child molestation charges in May.
