Glendale police say Raths is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in September 2004 in an apartment where she went to meet him to get a copy of a record produced by his band.
He's also accused of assaulting a 29-year-old woman at his apartment in October 2007. She had just moved to Arizona from California. The two met on the myspace.com website.
