DNA leads detectives to suspected serial rapist in Turlock
rbbm.
''The Turlock Police Department has arrested a Denair man on allegations he is a serial rapist who has been targeting women all over the region, particularly among the homeless population.
The suspect was identified as Joseph Frank Pineda Pimentel, 37, of Denair.
Pimentel's arrest came about after investigators were able to collect DNA evidence from a woman raped in June in Turlock.
The woman, who is homeless and lives in Turlock, was reported to the Turlock Police Department the day after the attack, which happened on June 14.
The woman told investigators she was picked up on Geer Road by a Hispanic male adult she described as 6 feet tall and about 250 pounds. He was driving a dark sports utility vehicle.
The suspect offered her a ride and told her he would “help her out.” After initially declining, the victim eventually consented to get in the vehicle because the suspect was so persistent, according to the police department.
Instead of taking her to where she was going, the suspect drove behind a closed business and raped her by force.''

DNA results returned Aug. 30 matched the Turlock sample to Pineda Pimentel and connected him to two additional unsolved rapes in other counties. Police said circumstances were similar in all three cases.
Pineda Pimentel’s DNA record came from when he was arrested and charged with rape in 2009 while serving in the military, police said, although the case was ultimately dismissed.

I'm so glad they were able to identify him and get him off the streets.
