Man charged over sexual assaults

Police have charged a man with two sexual offences in Essex.

Paul King, aged 37, from Mayflower Way in Ongar is to appear before magistrates in Colchester on Monday to face the charges.

Detectives were granted extra time on Saturday to continue questioning Mr King.

The married father-of-two has been charged in connection with the attempted rape of a woman in Colchester in October last year, and with the indecent assault of a woman in Chelmsford last September.

He has been remanded in custody until his court appearance.

Essex Police said they are continuing an investigation into the other suspected sexual offences, to include indecent exposure and gross indecency.
