ATHENS, Ga. – Athens-Clarke County Police are investigating whether the rapes of two University of Georgia students that took place a year apart are connected.
The two attacks took place on Sept. 4, 2009, and around midnight Sept. 4, 2010.
Authorities told the Athens Banner-Herald that in each attack a UGA student hailed what she thought was a taxi and got into a dark-colored van driven by a man who took the woman elsewhere and assaulted her.
Sexual assault experts say that there could also be other attacks that were not reported.
