Singh was arraigned Friday in Hamilton Municipal Court, where Judge Dan Gattermeyer set bond. He is scheduled to be back in court Friday for a preliminary hearing.
Hamilton police detective Tony Kiep said in each incident, Singh gave women rides and then allegedly forced them to engage in sex with him.
“There could be more victims,” he said. “Sometimes people don’t report these crimes right away.”
On Sept. 5, 2019, a woman reported she was offered a ride from Circle K on Pleasant Avenue. She said the man stopped the vehicle on East Avenue and dragged her by the hair into an abandoned building and raped her, according to the report.
In the Aug. 23 incident, a woman said she was forced into a vehicle on East Avenue, held against her will at gunpoint and sexually assaulted, according to the report.
Kiep said Singh also is a person of interest in similar case in Middletown.
“We think he may have tried to pick more women up and said they said no. So we are interested if anyone recognizes him,” the detective said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Kiep at 513-898-5811 ext. 1261 or detective Frank Botts at 513-898-5811 ext. 1266.
