Aurora police released new information Tuesday in a March 12 rape at a massage parlor: The rapist pretended to be a police officer to intimidate his victim.
“Immediately after the assault, the suspect flashed a badge to the victim and told her not to bother calling the police because he was an officer,” police said Tuesday afternoon.
And it might not be the man’s first time to pull the ploy. A suspected victim at another location is reluctant to cooperate with authorities, police said.
The Aurora Police Department has added $5,000 to the $2,000 reward offered by Crime Stoppers.
In the March 12 case, police had reported that the man visited the massage parlor and then returned to the business, which has not been named, and asked for a second massage that day. During that massage, the man demanded the woman perform a sex act, and when she refused, he raped her, police said.
