PHILADELPHIA -
Police say a man has raped and physically assaulted at least three women. The latest victim just came forward.
The victims voluntarily accepted a ride from this guy. There was no weapon or force.
A recent sketch of a man was made, and police are looking for in connection with a series of violent attacks that date back two years.
One victim just came forward this month, saying she was raped in August of 2010.
Police immediately figured out they're the same circumstances two other victims gave when they attacked, one in July 2010 and the other in August 2011.
The victims accepted a ride from the suspect in the areas of Disston Street and Longshore Avenue near Torresdale. All say they were taken to Cresco Avenue near Pennypack Park and violently assaulted.
Police say the suspect is a white man, 25- to 30-years-old, between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build.
Victims say what stood out is that he had several piercings in his brow, in his tongue, and in his right ear he had a hoop earring. At the time of the attacks, he was driving a white pickup truck with ladder racks attached.
The victim who just came forward says she saw the suspect again, weeks after the attack. That time he was in a high-end, dark-blue minivan with an Eagles sticker on the back window and a child car seat inside.
Police believe this guy frequents the Torresdale area and he could be a contractor actively working. If you've seen him or either of the described vehicles, call Philadelphia police.
