WI man appears in court for 2nd alleged rape

Just like child predators use MySpace and other networking websites to gain access to kids, adult predators use dating websites to gain access to vulnerable (mostly) female victims. The story below is another case where this has led to tragedy.

Brian King, 29 appeared in court for a second time to face rape charges stemming from an incident 4 years ago. He was arrested the 1st time after a 19 year old woman told detectives that after dating king on Match.com, she met him at his Dewey home in October 2003 , where he repeatedly raped her.

According to Assistant DA David Knappen, this is the 3rd allegation that King faced since 2003, though previous charges have been dropped. There is an incident from November 2003 which is being investigated and which may lead to more charges.

The article from the Appleton Post-Crescent (WI) goes on to say:

According to the criminal complaint, a 19-year-old friend of King's had gone to his town of Dewey home on the afternoon of Oct. 17, 2003, to pick up some of her belongings.

King pinned the woman to his bed and fondled her, eventually ejaculating on her, said the complaint. After struggling with King, the girl eventually escaped the home and fled to the Family Crisis Center.

King faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault for the incident.

King faces three counts of second-degree sexual assault and one of third-degree sexual assault for the incident in June of this year. At a September preliminary hearing, the woman in that case told the court through tears that King had repeatedly assaulted her while at his home.

A not guilty plea was entered on King's behalf at that hearing as he stood mute.

King made an initial appearance for his new charges Tuesday, having been released from the Portage County Jail on a $10,000 cash bond shortly after his June arrest.

A preliminary hearing for those charges has been scheduled for Nov. 13.

"(The woman) said she had discussed at length with Mr. King her wish to not have premarital sex ... she thought Mr. King would understand," said the complaint.

King faces up to 10 years in prison for 2nd degree sexual assault.

Note: It is obvious that just like the pedophile has a preferred age range and gender preference of victim, that there are predators of adults which have preferred age ranges and sexual preferences of adult victims also. The only difference between the pedophile and someone who preys on 19 year old women is that ages of the latter's victims are double (or more) the age of the former's victims.
