A woman told police that around 9:40 p.m. on March 19, she was walking to her car when a man approached from behind and grabbed her over her clothing, according to San Jose police. She fought him off and eventually fell to the ground, police said; her assailant ran away.<\/p>\n

The victim was taken to a hospital where she was treated and released. An ensuing investigation identified 19-year-old Cupertino resident Joseph Adorno as a suspect, and determined that he was a suspect in \u201ctwo similar sexual batteries that occurred in the city of San Jose,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
