An Abbotsford man is facing multiple criminal charges after police linked him to two separate sexual assault investigations involving female victims.The Abbotsford Police Department announced Thursday that 53-year-old Angelo Roefaro has been charged with two counts of sexual assault, along with assault, administering a stupefying substance and theft under $5,000.Police said the investigation began earlier this year after patrol officers received a report of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in December 2025 involving a female victim.Due to the seriousness of the allegations, the case was transferred to the Abbotsford Police Department’s Sex Crimes Unit.On May 12, detectives took over a second sexual assault investigation involving another female victim and determined the same suspect was allegedly connected to both incidents.Roefaro was formally charged later that same day.He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing and is scheduled to appear in court again on June 1.The court has imposed publication bans protecting the identities of both complainants.Abbotsford police have now released a photograph of Roefaro in an effort to identify additional potential victims or witnesses who may have information relevant to the investigation.Investigators are asking anyone with information — or anyone who believes they may also be a victim — to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.
