Police Arrest Suspected Mich. Serial Rapist
By Ken Kolker, The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Press
The suspected serial rapist, identified as 25-year-old Ryan Gervenak, was linked recently to all five by DNA tests, police said...
He is suspected of breaking into homes while victims were sleeping, choking them and sexually assaulting them, according to police. He allegedly targeted women in their early 20s.
The string of assaults started in 1998. Four of the rapes were reported in a four-block area near East Fulton Street in the Midtown and Heritage Hill neighborhoods. Two of the assaults, including the latest on Oct. 10, were in the same home on Grand Avenue NE, just north of East Fulton.
One of the assaults was outside the city -- the February 1999 attack of a woman at a home in the 3200 block of Coit Avenue NE in Plainfield Township, police said.
