Katz was arrested on Sept. 10 and charged with two counts of sexual assault and released on conditions.

Earlier this month, two more women came forward and reported similar assaults that also happened in August at the same shelter.

Katz was arrested again on Thursday and charged with two additional counts of sexual assault and criminal harrassment.
