Man Arrested For 2022 Sexual Assault

Dubuque police say a man who sexually assaulted a woman last year has now been arrested. 37 year old Jacob Werner was arrested Friday at the Dubuque Law Enforcement Center on a warrant charging third-degree sexual abuse. Reports say that Werner sexually assaulted a woman at her Dubuque home in April of 2022. The woman reported the incident the next day, and further reports say the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Criminalistics Laboratory found DNA on items from the victim’s home that matched Werner’s in the national Combined DNA Index System.
