Carrollton, Texas, law enforcement officials arrested an alleged serial rapist who is HIV positive and could be connected to sexual assaults in multiple states.

The Carrollton Police Department said officers responded to an area hospital on Feb. 11, where they met with a sexual assault victim who was receiving treatment.

The next day, police arrested 25-year-old Carlton Tambaoga and charged him with a single count of sexual assault.

An investigation conducted by detectives with the Special Victims Unit led to the discovery of a second victim allegedly sexually assaulted by the same suspect, and on Feb. 13, police charged Tambaoga with an additional count of sexual assault.

Police said Tambaoga was HIV positive, adding that he remains held in the Denton County Jail.

As the investigation progressed, police said detectives identified and spoke with four additional sexual assault victims who allegedly had contact with Tambaoga.

Detectives also learned through the findings that he may have sexually assaulted more victims in the DFW Metroplex; Houston, Texas; and Atlanta, Georgia.
