    I’m wondering what the relevance of him “never really having many girlfriends” is. Does not having many girlfriends throughout high school make someone a likely candidate to become a rapist? I’m not discounting the fact that he was, I’m sure, arrested for good reason and with some form of evidence that he did it. It just seems to me like Daniel Romandia (who is a former Current staff member, if I remember correctly?) is adding details that may or may not even be relevant to this situation. I don’t feel that anything he says has anything to do with this case. Oh, he was cocky several years ago in high school? And he seemed to think he was above others? These two statements describe most of the guys that went to my high school.

    I also feel like there’s some overwhelming speculation that he could be the serial rapist. Obviously it’s worth looking into because of the resemblance to the police sketches and similarity of the attacks. But again, there’s this:

    “Romandia said that he did see the sketches of the previous rape attacks but that he “never made the connection.” Now comparing Anderson’s mug shot and the sketches he said “they do look like him.””

    Of course he “never made the connection.” There wasn’t really a connection. There’s literally hundreds of people on ARC’s campus that look similar to the police sketch, and even more in the general area.

    Again, maybe Anderson is the serial rapist. But maybe he’s not (not to say that raping one girl is in any way more acceptable than raping four). I just feel like this article has a certain tone of assumption, before the facts are even out.

    Maybe before you make everyone believe this guy is a serial rapist, see what the Sheriff’s DNA test comes back with. In the mean time, just mention that they’re looking into a connection.
