A Colonial Heights man has been charged with multiple sexual crimes in connection with a series of incidents that happened in Richmond’s Fan District in 2018.

Justin A. Harvey, 26, of the 400 block of Cloverhill Avenue in Colonial Heights, was charged with sexual battery, rape, aggravated sexual battery, malicious wounding and simple assault, as well as two counts each of statutory burglary and unlawful videoing, police said.

Harvey was arrested on Sept. 27 by Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University police officers after he allegedly lifted the skirts of two female students in separate assaults in the Fan. The incidents happened on Sept. 21 on South Harrison Street and on the next night on South Brunswick Street. After his arrest in September, police said VCU surveillance cameras helped to identify Harvey.
