HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A Connecticut man who was linked to the sexual assaults of four women in 1984 by information on a genealogy database was convicted Wednesday of all eight kidnapping charges against him.
Michael Sharpe of Connecticut was convicted of eight counts of kidnapping after investigators matched his DNA to DNA retrieved in the cases of four sexual assaults in 1984.
At least two of the victims were in the courtroom and wept after the verdicts were announced, with one saying: "This has been a long 38 years."
