Facebook rape suspect, Wayne Smith, charged in 3rd rape
(CBS/WBBM) CHICAGO - Wayne Smith, the 25-year-old barber who is charged with raping two women he met on Facebook, allegedly attacked a third woman just hours before one of the other rapes, prosecutors in Chicago said Wednesday.
Smith met the woman on Facebook and the two had consensual sex a day before he raped her on the morning of Oct. 13, 2009, officials told CBS affiliate WBBM.
On Oct. 12 Smith came to the woman's apartment after they had consensual sex, two nights before, but both had agreed they'd be better off as friends, Assistant State's Attorney Morgan Creepel told the station.
Smith still spent the evening at her apartment but they argued all through the night and while the victim was getting ready for work, according to the station's report.
When the woman, who was 23 at the time, refused Smith's sexual advances he pulled her hair and told her nobody would hear if he used his gun. After he raped her he laughed, Creppel said to the station.
Later that afternoon, Smith sexually assaulted another woman he met through Facebook who he had just met in-person and had lunch with , the prosecutors told WBBM.
Smith was charged in that case last week and that case prompted prosecutors to re-open their investigation following his arrest for a Feb. 28 rape of another woman he met on Facebook, the station reports.
Both of those women were attacked at Smith's home and he also threatened them with a weapon.
Police were able to link Smith to the third case after his DNA matched evidence recovered from her rape kit, Creppel told the staion.
Smith was already being held on bail for the previous rapes but the judge ordered him helpd on an additional $1million bond.
