A 24-year-old Regina man is facing charges in connection with two separate sexual assaults earlier this year.

The first incident happened at a store in the 3800 block of Sherwood Drive shortly before 10 p.m. on Jan. 9.

A 45-year-old woman told police she had been sexually touched by an unknown man.

On February 9, police were dispatched to a business in the 2900 block of Dewdney Avenue around 3 a.m. for a report of a sexual assault.

A 27-year-old female employee also reported that an unknown man had touched her in a sexual manner.

Police were able to obtain surveillance video of both incidents.

Kenton Arnold Desjarlais appeared in court Wednesday on two counts of sexual assault and an unrelated charge of theft under $5,000.
