The owner of a business that tests for drugs in Aurora was taken into custody earlier this month following reports by three women that they were sexually assaulted while giving urine samples, police said Thursday.
Arben Duka, a 60-year-old man from Aurora, was arrested on suspicion of felony unlawful sexual contact on March 15, according to a Thursday news release from the Aurora Police Department.
The case began on Oct. 10, 2023, when a woman reported being sexually assaulted by Duka after providing a urine sample at his business, Aurora Employment Testing, the release stated.
Aurora Employment Testing, previously known as Wiz Quiz Employment Testing, is at 1701 Chambers Road, Suite E, in Aurora.
During the investigation, detectives found two other incidents in 2023 where women reported being assaulted by Duka at his business during or immediately after providing urinalysis samples, officers said in Thursdays release.
Duka was charged by the Adams County District Attorney’s Office in October with one count of unlawful sexual contact without consent and one count of invasion of privacy for sexual gratification, both misdemeanors, according to Thursday’s release. That case is still active.
Police are worried there could be more victims who haven’t come forward, and are asking anyone with information about Duka or who might have been victimized while visiting Aurora Employment Testing to come forward.
The investigation is ongoing; anyone with additional information should contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 and reference case number AP23-202838.
