The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the serial rapist has been quadrupled, representatives from the city, county and University announced Friday. The original reward of $5,000 was posted by the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers. The city, county and University each have pledged an additional $5,000 to bring the total reward to $20,000.
The rapist is responsible for a series of attacks in Charlottesville and one in Waynesboro. He is described as a medium- to dark-complected black male, six feet tall with "slightly bulging" or "unnaturally white" eyes.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers at 977-4000 or the Charlottesville Police Department at 970-3280.
