RAPE-O THE CLOWN EYED IN MORE SEX ATTACKS

A PROFESSIONAL clown who goes by the name 'El Tin Larin' (we call him Rape-O) has been arrested for raping a young girl in 2002. And now, cops say they're eyeing Jose Guadalupe Jimenez, 41, is scores of other unsolved sex assaults in Orange County, California.
A DNA match linked the kinky clown to the kidnap-rape of the 12-year-old girl. Jimenez allegedly grabbed the girl from behind on a street corner in Fullerton and drove her to a school parking lot, where he raped her. He then molested her again.

Luckily, she escaped when he left his car to talk to a motel clerk. She described her attacker as a Hispanic male wearing a clown mask and makeup. Detectives collected DNA at the time of the attack. They got a positive hit in February.

Cops say they are hoping any other victims will recognize him either with or without his clown makeup in recent photos that have surfaced and come forward. They are asking anyone with information to call detectives at 1-714-738-5327 or 1-714-738-6715.
