ATLANTA — A man who had only recently been released from jail is now accused in two violent sexual assaults in Buckhead.

Police say 28-year-old Torrin Mott attacked a woman outside the Target store on Peachtree Road, dragging her down a stairwell before a bystander intervened to stop the assault. Investigators believe that just one day earlier, Mott was responsible for a similar incident at 960 East Paces Ferry Road.

Mott is facing a long list of charges, including kidnapping and aggravated sodomy. He is being held without bond at the Fulton County Jail.

Court records show Mott has a history of violent offenses. In 2023, he was arrested in connection with a battery case near the Lenox Square MARTA station.

Police say the most recent assaults both occurred in public and in front of witnesses, and their investigation remains ongoing.
