Man just got out of jail, arrested on sexual assault charges

RICHMOND, VA — A man released Monday on bail from the Fort Bend County Jail on a sexual assault charge was arrested today after he allegedly tried to sexually assault two women in separate incidents, police said.

Ronald Geathers, 36, was arrested shortly after 1:30 a.m. in the 800 block of Maiden Lane, said Richmond police Sgt. Lowell Neinast.

Neinast said police were first dispatched to the 1700 block of FM 1640 at an apartment complex where a woman told officers a man had tried to sexually assault her.

While officers were investigating that report a second call came from a residence on Maiden Lane.

Neinast said a woman at that house told officers a man had tried to sexually assault her. When police arrived Geathers was on the scene and he was arrested.

The victims in the Maiden Lane case and the FM 1640 case identified Geathers as the man who had attempted to sexually assault them, Neinast said.

Geathers was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted sexual assault and taken to the Fort Bend County jail, Neinast said.

Geathers was indicted in August on a charge of sexual assault in connection with an incident which happened July 14.
