Man charged with raping minor in Rockville; More victims possible – NBC4 Washington

Last month, a man in Rockville, Maryland was arrested and charged with raping a minor and stealing property. Now police fear there could be more victims.

The suspect is 33-year-old Eric Bacon, who has been charged with burglary and first-degree rape of a minor.

According to Montgomery County police, Bacon allegedly broke into an apartment in the 15000 block of Frederick Road on April 24 and then sexually assaulted a juvenile who was returning home from school around 3 p.m

The suspect then left “with an undisclosed amount of stolen property,” authorities said.

Later, while police were en route, a relative of the victim came home and noticed Bacon pacing in front of the residence before running away, police said.

Two days later, around 5 a.m., an officer on patrol noticed the suspect on the ground on the first floor of an apartment building on the same block where the sexual assault occurred, according to authorities.

Based on witness statements and surveillance video, Bacon was arrested and charged.

Charging documents show Bacon has been charged with burglary and robbery in the past.

Police want anyone who may be a victim of the suspect to call the SVID Child Exploitation Unit at 240-773-5400 or Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477). Callers can remain anonymous.
