A Phoenix man has been indicted for allegedly kidnapping and burning four women, and sexually assaulting one of them.

On Friday, a Maricopa County Grand Jury indicted 33-year-old Jonathan Jude Rouzan on 33 counts of kidnapping, sexual assault, and aggravated assault on four women from December 1 to January 3. 

Court documents show that the women, one of which was under 15 years old, suffered violent assaults where they were punched, slammed into walls, choked and burned. 

Investigators say all four women were burned with either a glass pipe or lighter on their arms, legs, and buttocks. One victim was sexually assaulted multiple times, and all were beaten. 

Rouzan was arrested by Phoenix police on January 4 near 51st and Southern avenues. 

He is being held without bond.
