ºÙºÙÊÓƵ police today (May 25) asked other possible victims to come forward in a sex assault case that led to the arrest Tuesday night of Robert David Schaerges, 26.

He is accused of assaulting two women on a bike path near The Pavilion at the ARC at about 8:30 p.m. May 24. He allegedly assaulted a police officer before running off, only to be taken into custody just after 11 p.m. Prior to catching him, police sent out a two-part WarnMe alert to the campus community.

Police booked Schaerges at the Yolo County Jail on charges of sexual battery, false imprisonment and assaulting a peace officer.

Police said they believe other women may have been assaulted the same evening, and investigators are asking the other victims to call the Police Department at (530) 752-1727 or the anonymous crime tip line at (530) 752-9944. Investigators said they also would like to hear from anyone else with information about the case.

Victims can also report incidents to the Campus Violence Prevention Program. The program provides 24-hour advocacy, crisis intervention, support and educational programming aimed at reducing incidents of sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking and hate. To speak directly to an advocate, call (530) 754-6387.
