An Oahu Grand Jury indicted a man for allegedly sexually assaulting three females in restrooms and a retail store within a 15-hour period last week.

Ernest Holmes, 39, of Kaiulani Avenue, was charged yesterday with nine counts -- including second-degree robbery, third- and fourth-degree sexual assault and attempted sexual assault.

The charges stem from a March 20 attack on a 32-year-old woman in the restroom of a Fort Street Mall building and a 14-year-old girl in the restroom of Hard Rock Cafe; and a March 21 attack on a 30-year-old sales clerk at a Seaside Avenue shop.
