The Cabbie Rapist is Caught

Bostonist first reported a few weeks ago about the rapist on the loose, who was posing as some sort of cabbie. After picking up two young women separately in Faneuil Hall, the "cabbie" took them each to the Alewife T station and raped them. Well, Boston women were put on edge after these two attacks, but now police have made an arrest. Kevin Bennett, a 33-year-old of Arlington, Mass., was picked up by police in Augusta, Maine this past weekend on a warrant unrelated to this case. After Bennett's DNA matched the rapist's, police brought him down to Massachusetts, where he was arraigned today in Cambridge District Court. Bennett has been charged with the rapes, kidnapping, and intent to murder. Bostonist would like to thank the men in blue for making our city streets a little safer with Bennett behind bars (and calming our nerves a bit).
