In all three cases, a judge dismissed the application, though no reason was given.
Manuel Vladimir Ruiz, who is 52, is now accused of sexually assaulting a female youth and a woman, and with obtaining the sexual services of a person under the age of 18.
Police say Ruiz is also facing charges of sexual interference, forcible confinement and luring a child
