NEW YORK - Acting on DNA evidence, authorities arrested a man for a 1973 rape and said he also is responsible for sexually assaulting at least 25 women in three states. District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said Tuesday that Clarence Williams, 58, was connected this month to the 1973 rape of a Manhattan woman and to attacks in Maryland and New Jersey after the federal DNA database matched a sample from him to genetic evidence left in many of those
I'm glad they finally caught the creep, but I didn't know the above even existed. Scary.

I'm loving this. A**holes who have been running around scot free for years are being picked up in increasing numbers month by month. Its about time.
Anyone can be accused of a crime. Think about it, a cop can walk up to your door..."Mr. Libstripper? You are accused of felony littering, please provide a sample..."
