The individual Stephen Paul Gale was arrested in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 8, 2024.

IIUC Massachusetts apparently does not have a statute of limitations for rape and other forms of sexual assault. This article by a Massachusetts attorney, Paul Toland, elaborates on this and the topic of statute of limitations for certain crimes in that state:

The CNN article also refers to aliases this individual is alleged to have used: Stephen Pisarcik, John Rossi, and Paul Costa. DNA genetic genealogy was used to make the apparent link. MOO
