The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office will charge a 28-year-old man with rape, robbery, and stalking in connection with a series of sexual assaults and attempted attacks he allegedly perpetrated over the course of four days this month.
Kevin Bennett, 28, is now suspected of sexual assault in at least eight states, including Indiana, where police arrested him on Saturday afternoon. He is currently in the custody of the Marion County Sheriffs in Indianapolis following an investigation involving the Philadelphia Police Department, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, and the FBI.
Once extradited back to Philadelphia, Kevin Bennett, 28, will face multiple charges, including multiple counts of rape, burglary, robbery, weapons violations, and related offenses in connection with a series of sex assaults and gunpoint robberies last week.
