Hearing continued

The arraignment for a Costa Mesa man suspected of raping two women was postponed Tuesday. Jose Fernandez Lopez is expected to return to court on Jan. 3, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office.

Costa Mesa police arrested Lopez, 32, in August on suspicion of attacking two women who lived in a West Baker Street apartment complex, where Lopez also lived. At the time of the arrest, Costa Mesa police said DNA evidence linked Lopez to the alleged crimes.

Lopez’s alleged victims are a 65-year-old woman who was attacked in May and a 46-year-old woman who was attacked in September 2004.
