Police say a Windsor man is a serial rapist who used dating apps and social media to meet his victims.
Akin Warner, 25, was arrested on first-degree sexual assault charges for reported rapes in Windsor Locks and Windsor and also has been charged with two separate assaults in Ellington, law enforcement authorities said Thursday. Warner also is a suspect in two sexual assaults in Orange County, California, and likely raped other girls and young women, police said.
Warner met the Connecticut victims – three juveniles and an adult – through dating/social media apps, police said. In three cases, the victims said they fell into a stupor after drinking a substance that Warner represented as alcohol, police said.
