Man Admits to Sexual Assaults in Minneapolis Parking Lot

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A 22-year-old Farmington man has admitted to sexually assaulting two women in a downtown Minneapolis parking ramp.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Monday that Peijan Hodges has pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct and attempted first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Freeman says Hodges is expected to receive a 15-year prison sentence.

Hodges attempted to sexually assault a woman on Oct. 7 in a parking ramp. A few hours later, he forced his way into another woman's car parked in the same lot and raped her.

Sentencing for Hodges is scheduled in early March.
