Police in St. Paul, Minnesota are looking for a man accused of three sexual assaults that allegedly happened over the last two years.
The St. Paul Police Department says 18-year-old Rakai Eugene Davis met people through dating apps or websites and forced them into sexual acts by brandishing a knife or handgun.
The first assault allegedly happened on May 27, 2023, on the 1700 block of Cottage Avenue East. The other two happened on the 1700 block of Clear Avenue East on Nov. 3, 2024, and Dec. 9, 2024, authorities say.
