''A victim during a preliminary hearing Wednesday described her sexual assault at gunpoint that dated back nearly 25 years in Visalia, which investigators say was at the hands of the man accused of killing Fresno State student Debbie Dorian. The three incidents in 1999 and 2002 in Visalia had several similar characteristics — young women accosted in the street by a man shrouded by a hood who forced them into a secluded area at gunpoint before forcing sexually assaulting them. Nickey Duane Stane, 56, has been accused of the assaults by the Fresno County District Attorney’s Office, which is running the prosecution of the Tulare County cases simultaneously with the case for the rape and murder of Dorian, who was found killed in her Fresno apartment Aug. 22, 1996.''
