A Dayton man accused of sexually assaulting two young girls is facing additional charges after a third victim reportedly came forward.

Ezra Bansobeza, 59, was indicted on two counts of attempted rape, four counts of gross sexual imposition and one count of misdemeanor assault on Friday. One of the attempted rape charges and two of the gross sexual imposition charges include specifications for victims younger than 13.

He was previously charges with three counts of rape of a child younger than 10, one count of attempted rape of a child younger than 10, two counts of kidnapping and two counts of gross sexual imposition involving a child younger than 13 in September, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.

The new indictment stemmed from a third girl who disclosed the sexual assaults after the initial indictment, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office. He’ll be arraigned on the new charges on Wednesday.

On Aug. 14, Dayton police opened an investigation after a woman took her 9-year-old daughter to Dayton Children’s Hospital with concerns the girl was sexually assaulted, according to Dayton Municipal Court records.

The girl described multiple assault by Bansobeza during a forensic interview and said the abuse began that spring, according to an affidavit.

Detectives learned of a second victim, an 8-year-old girl, during the investigation.
