Three rapes reported to Cape police

Three rapes were reported in as many days to the Cape Girardeau Police Department this week, but the incidents do not appear to be related, police say.

No one has been charged in connection with the reports given by three women, but police have a suspect in one of the incidents, according to patrolman Jason Selzer.

Descriptions of the men and the locations of the alleged attacks differ greatly, causing police to believe they were not committed by the same person, he said. No further information about the suspects or the locations is being released.

The first rape was reported to police Monday and the others were reported Tuesday and Wednesday. One of the women reported the assault over a week after it allegedly occurred, Selzer said.
