Serial Rapist

Update- AMW is reporting that an arrest has been made, with a DNA match to at least one of the cases.


I don't know what's going on in Texas- but whatever it is, it's not good. I'm really a little surprised that I haven't heard of this earlier, given the fact that I actively look for news that contains the words "rapist" and this is a story that by all means I should have picked up earlier.

The serial rapist-robber began his attacks in east Harris County in April and his assaults have occurred every 30 to 60 days.

But what makes this case so unusual is that women are not the target. So far the five victims have all been young, white males in their late teens or early 20s, mostly students still living at their parents' homes.

The attacker is described as a light-skinned black male, clean-cut and nicely dressed, in his late 20s. He stands 5-foot-6 to 6 feet tall and weighs about 200 pounds.

From the previously mentioned AMW story:

Police in Baytown, Texas, just outside of Houston, say they have arrested Keith Chester Hill, a 19-year-old male suspect who may be the Houston Serial Rapist, an attacker believed to be responsible for the rapes of five men.

Hill was arrested at his home in the early hours of Wednesday morning, according to police. Authorities say that DNA evidence connects Hill to the sexual assault of a male victim in May 2006. Police told AMW that they are currently working around the clock to see whether they can definitively link this suspect to the four other attacks.
