This Saturday, Dallas police located a suspect accused of aggravated sexual assault after breakthrough DNA evidence was collected. The suspect, Van Dralan Dixson, had DNA that matched evidence from one of the nine sexual assault cases. Dallas police announced that they had pinpointed a man they believed was responsible for sexual assault on nine victims in between June 22nd and September 1st.

The reports have shown that each victim was out walking in between midnight and 6 a.m. The suspect of these assaults was armed and robbed each of the victims before sexually assaulting them in secluded areas. While the Dallas police have located the suspect, they are still waiting for analyses on samples from the other cases.

  1. I remember hearing about this on the news and i think that not only is this awful but it's also disturbing. There are tons of women who will give you whatever you want, yet you choose you go and take it from Innocent people who do not deserve it at all.

  2. Sexual assault is never okay and this is bad. Women need to be respected and treated as equals not as vehicles to sexual fulfillment. Even though we live in a Freudian society, consent is nice.

  3. If this is the suspect related to the other sexual assault charges I hope he thinks about hat he has done. This is no way to treat a woman, especially one that is not his.
