Detectives looking for serial rapist in Ocala

OCALA, Fla. -- Detectives say the suspect has raped three women since July. The latest occurred Wednesday when a woman was forced into a vehicle and raped.

In the first two cases, authorities say the man offered the women a ride. Once inside his vehicle, he drove the women to a secluded location and raped them.

The Ocala Star Banner reports that detectives believe the attacks are related. The victims all describe a similar attacker and there are similarities in the way the attacks were carried out.

Detectives say the suspect is in his 30s or 40s and drives an older model car. Victims have reported either a car seat or baby items in the car.
