CHICAGO (August 11, 2000 7:57 a.m. EDT http://www.nandotimes.com) - A man suspected in a recent string of attacks on mostly Asian women has been charged with five counts of home invasion and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault.
Mark Anthony Lewis, 33, appeared Thursday before Judge Kevin Sheehan, who ordered him held without bail. He has denied involvement in the attacks.
Eight Asian women and one Hispanic woman have been assaulted since April 7. The attacker posed as a census taker, an FBI agent, an immigration official and a police officer to get into the women's homes.
Police said they found a gun and a fake police badge in Lewis' apartment. They also said his car matches the description of one used by a man during the latest assault on July 19.
Lewis was deported last week from the Philippines, where authorities arrested him near a Manila shopping mall. He was turned over to Chicago authorities on Tuesday.
