Michael Tarrell McThune, 17, is charged with the serial rapes of five women in and around his north Milwaukee neighborhood. The targets were women walking alone between 10:30 PM and 2 AM, according to police. McThune became a suspect after 2 attacks on August 2, where the victims told police that the attacker came up to them in a bike, and raped them at gunpoint.
According to the criminal complaint, McThune attacked a 17-year-old girl June 22 in the 2500 block of W. Center St. He also threatened and raped a 21-year-old woman July 12 and a 27-year-old woman July 16, each about four blocks apart on N. 24th Place, the complaint says.
McThune is charged with committing two separate attacks on 18-year-old women Aug. 2, which prompted police to search for a possible serial rapist.
According to the criminal complaint, McThune admitted the assaults to police but said they were prostitution-related.
The rape charges are not the only charges McThune faces. He is also charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a dangerous weapon under age 18, resisting or obstructing an officer and possession of THC. McThune was released on bond in those cases, but is being held on $500,000 bond for 5 counts of 1st degree armed sexual assault, a crime which carries a maximum 60 sentence in a Wisconsin prison.
