VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A North Carolina man has been arrested and charged in connection with multiple sexual assaults and robberies in Virginia Beach and Norfolk, according to both city's police departments. Now, police are looking for other possible victims.
Phillip J. Graham, 27, was arrested on Tuesday by Norfolk police.
Graham allegedly committed numerous sexual assaults and robberies over the span of four days.
On Friday, July 18, around 3:30 a.m., Norfolk police responded to a sexual assault at the DoubleTree Hotel on North Military Highway. That's near Norfolk International Airport.
Two days later, VBPD says someone was robbed at gunpoint in the 1200 block of Christian Court in Virginia Beach around 2 a.m. That's near the intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Indian Lakes Boulevard.
The following day, VBPD says a person was robbed and sexually assaulted at gunpoint in the 4600 block of Commerce Street. That's in Town Center of Virginia Beach.
VBPD and NPD believe Graham committed all three crimes.
In Virginia Beach, he is facing three counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony, two counts of robbery using a firearm, two counts of abduction and forcible sodomy.
He's also facing the following charges in Norfolk: two counts of forcible sodomy, two counts of robbery, two counts of abduction, one count of brandishing a firearm, one count of simple assault, and six counts of use of a firearm.
Graham is in custody at Norfolk City Jail without bond.
This remains an active investigation, as detectives say there may be additional victims.
Anyone who may have been victimized by Graham is asked to call VBPD Violent Crimes Unit at 757-385-4101.
