"We heard the same story again and again," said Detective Brent Hopkins, a special assault section supervisor. "Mr. Olds started off charming, but then used brutal violence to carry out these rapes. Some of these survivors suffered in silence for years before finding the strength to speak up. Now that he’s off the streets, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to be heard."
Three women have been identified as assault victims. Two others have come forward and "reported lesser violent sexual conduct." Due to Olds' profession, detectives believe there could be other victims across the country and request anyone with information to come forward.
