rape

Ivan Keith raped women in the 1990s, skipped a court date, fled to Maine, and was found in 2019 living under an assumed name.

The State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and Dartmouth Police made the early-morning arrest.

A rape kit from 1994 was retested, a DNA profile was uploaded to a national database, and a suspect was identified by the Bristol County DA.

Prosecutors dropped the charges after the alleged victim didn't show for a court hearing and failed to cooperate with investigators.

The alleged incident occurred on June 27 at a residence in the south end of Rehoboth.

The former Durfee High basketball star and longtime Fall River media personality has been charged with two counts of rape and one charge of indecent assault.

New charges were filed after other women stepped forward, according to reports.
