Man Convicted Of Sex Assaults In Denver, Cases Had Gone Cold

DENVER (AP) - A Denver jury has convicted a man who was charged in two sexual assaults - one in 1998 and the other in 2000.

The Denver District Attorney's Office says 47-year-old Warren Foster was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree sexual assault, second-degree kidnapping, sexual assault with force, two counts of third-degree assault and false imprisonment. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 3.

Prosecutors say Foster sexually assaulted an 18-year-old woman in 1998. She had just arrived in Denver and was trying to find her friend's home when Foster offered her a ride. Foster also sexually assaulted a 27-year-old woman in 2000, again offering to give her a ride.

He was charged after DNA linked him to the assaults in 2011, but he was serving time in New Mexico for sexual assault and wasn't brought back to Denver until 2014.
