Serial rapist pleads guilty,confesses to more repes.

Clifford Jones, a Cleveland-area rapist, confessed to five unsloved rapes from the 1980s as well as the rapes of young women in the mid 2000s. The unsolved rapes occured before the imprisonment for raping a relative.

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason said, "This monster terrorized Cleveland Heights. Today's plea brings justice to four victims and closes an ugly chapter in the lives of five others."According to the prosecutor's office Jones, 49, of Cleveland, was convicted of raping a young relative in 1985. He was imprisoned for 15 years. After getting out of prison in 2000, Jones raped and sexually assaulted four young women.

On September 16, 2004, Jones attempted to rape a 22-year-old female on Edgehill Drive in Cleveland Heights, after she had parked her car.

He raped a second 22 year old woman, this time a Case Western Reserve student into the woods on October 8, 2004. Jones will be sentenced May 7.
