Sexual assault investigation leads to arrest of man in Easton

EASTON, Md. – A man is behind bars in Talbot County following a sexual assault investigation over the weekend.

Saturday morning, Easton Police officers were called to the area of the Easton Bypass near South Washington Street for a reported assault. Police say they found an adult female walking down the road, who reported that a man picked her up in Cambridge earlier that morning and took her back to his residence in the Magnolia Meadows apartment complex, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her by force.

Further investigation led detectives to identify the suspect as 45-year-old Jason Rosser. A search and seizure warrant was obtained for Rosser’s residence, which was executed later that day. Rosser was subsequently arrested.

Rosser was charged with first and second degree rape, third and fourth degree sex offense, first and second degree assault, and false imprisonment. He is currently being held without bond.
