Prosecutors say a man has been indicted on charges related to a 2016 attack and kidnapping in downtown Portland, Oregon.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt says Timothy Harris was indicted on charges of sodomy, attempted rape, kidnapping, unlawful use of a weapon and assault.

The district attorney’s office says the attack happened on July 5, 2016 and that investigators were unable to find the assailant.

Last month, Harris was identified as the suspect by DNA analysis.

He is in custody in King County, Washington, but prosecutors said they will seek his extradition to Oregon.

It wasn’t immediately known if Harris has a lawyer to comment.
