A man recently convicted of multiple rapes in St. Louis County once studied at Logan University in Chesterfield, and his ex-wife says she reported similar abuse overseas years earlier. Seven women testified he assaulted them after meeting on dating apps, and his ex-wife describes years of alleged abuse, stalking, and threats before feeling some relief after the guilty verdict.

Why it matters
