Suspected South Seattle Groper Arrested
At an afternoon press conference, the Seattle Police announced they have arrested a man they believe groped an Asian woman in South Seattle on Saturday and who they hope may be behind over two-dozen similar attacks. Darin Boler has been charged with second-degree robbery and fourth-degree assault for Saturday's incident. (The robbery charge is for stealing a would-be-witness' cell phone/camera.) Boler is a registered sex offender and has been previously convicted for raping a child and robbery. He is currently being held on a $500,000 bond. Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of the attacks that have terrorized South Seattle residents for over two years.
Update: The Slog has Boler's mugshot up...creepy!

Glad he's finally caught, well I hope this is him.
Child rape? Jesus. That's scary. Let's hope they find a way to keep this f*cker incarcerated for a looooong time.
I'm not an expert on sex offender psychology, but it sounds a little weird that someone who's done time for raping a kid would a) switch to adult women b) de-escalate to groping.
