This from New York 1:

            
            
            
            Police have arrested a Queens man they say is a serial rapist who has struck five times in the last four years.

Alvin Henry, 30, of Springfield Gardens faces several charges, including rape and sexual abuse.

He was arrested Sunday after police linked a recent rape to four others.

Police say they were able to link Henry to five attacks on women –
the latest happened on June 15th in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, when he
allegedly raped a woman at gunpoint. Police say he managed to separate
the victim from a male friend and attacked her.

Henry is accused of raping a teenager in the park back in April.
Investigators say he also committed three rapes in two Queens parks.
Two happened in Roy Wilkins Park – one last month and one in August of
2003.

Another rape happened in Baisley Park in June of 2003.
