The NYPD has released a sketch of a man accused of raping three women in Brooklyn this month. The incidents occurred in the 69th and 71st Precincts.
The police say that in each incident, "the suspect engages the victim in a conversation and lures them to an isolated location where he rapes them." Here are the details of the attacks: On April 4 at 9 p.m., a 25-year-old woman was approached near Albany Avenue and Fenimore Street; the suspect lured her to a parking lot where he raped her.
On April 11, 2013 at 8 a.m., 19-year-old was approached near Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road, lured to the driveway of a private home and was raped. On the same day, at 8:15 p.m., a 15-year-old was approached in a building in the vicinity of Midwood Street and Schenectady Avenue, where she was lured to the 6th floor and raped.
The suspect is described as a black male in his 20s, about 5'9" and 160-180 pounds, wearing a green camouflaged jacket, pants, boots and baseball cap (possibly with a NY Knick or Yankees logo).
Anyone with information in regards to these incidents is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
