Darryl Williams, 54, is currently serving 21 years in prison for raping two women in 1999. But now DNA testing from rape kits has connected him to another rape just a year earlier.
Williams is suspected of raping a 16-year-old girl on her way to high school.
The indictment comes after Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine launched rape kit testing in 2011.
"We've received a little over 14,000 untested rape kits," he said Monday. "Of those, we've tested well over 13,000. The 700-plus that still need to be tested will be done in the next few months."
A second 2002 case was tied to another convicted rapist, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office announced Monday.
Testing has not brought 701 indictments for rape in Cuyahoga County alone.
