The first attack took
place on a highway near Carrollton, Texas on Thursday, November 21. An
unidentified man wearing what appeared to be a police uniform stopped a
woman, handcuffed her, and assaulted her in the back seat of his car.
Early Sunday morning, a female student at the University of Minnesota
was sexually assaulted by a man dressed like a police officer. The
assailant, who was driving a black SUV, approached the woman and
admonished her that she shouldn’t be walking alone late at night.
Beguiled by what appeared to be the stranger’s official attire, the
woman got into the vehicle. The driver locked the doors and conveyed the
victim to a remote location, where he raped her.
