Police believe that the man they have in custody for the rape of two Southern Ohio women, may have a connection to other rapes throughout Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.

David Hopper was arrested after taken two rings stolen from one of his rape victims into a pawn shop in Northern Kentucky, the store then called police who matched the rings up with a description by the victim, who also was able to confirm the rings where hers.

Authorities arrested a man in Burlington, Kentucky after what they say was a slip up on his part. Police have connected him to two recent sexual assaults near Cincinnati. Now they want to know if he's responsible for nine others, including two in central Ohio.

“You look at his picture and you see the lazy eye, the blue eyes that are there. It's scary just to look at those pictures,” Warren County Sheriff Tom Ariss said, comparing descriptions of the serial rapist to 42-year-old David Hopper.

Hopper is being charged with rape and aggravated robbery in connection with the sexual assault of two women inside a Warren County model home over the weekend.

Now police want to know if Hopper is the same man responsible for at least nine rapes at strip malls in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio -- including ones just outside Columbus at an outlet mall in Washington Courthouse in November of 2003 and a health food store in Grove City.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style.

Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot.

Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott.
