   Aaron Thomas, 41, known as the "East Coast Rapist"   
      
   The man referred to as the "East Coast Rapist" -- tied to a string of attacks   
   along the Eastern Seaboard -- was indicted Tuesday in the county where he has   
   said his reign of terror began.   
      
   Aaron Thomas, 41, was indicted by prosecutors in Prince George's County, Md.,   
   on six counts of first-degree rape and related charges, reported   
   NBCWashington.com. He is accused of raping and kidnapping six women in the   
   county between 1997 and 2001 and    
   faces a total of 54 charges there, including first-degree sex-offense,   
   kidnapping, theft, and false imprisonment, NBCWashington.com said.   
      
   Thomas is already behind bars in Virginia, serving five life sentences plus 80   
   years for a 2001 rape and abduction in Leesburg, Va., and a Halloween 2009   
   attack on three teenagers in Prince William County, Va.   
      
   "While we know that Mr. Thomas will spend the rest of his life in prison for   
   his crimes, it is important that we prosecute him for the attacks he committed   
   in our county, so these six victims can receive justice and closure from this   
   terrible incident in    
   their lives," said Prince George's County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks   
   in a statement on Tuesday.   
      
   Thomas is linked by DNA evidence to more than a dozen sexual assaults dating   
   back to 1997 from the Washington area to Connecticut.   
      
   Thomas told The Washington Post that his first rape was in Prince George’s   
   County, and described several assaults that predate the ones known to   
   authorities by several years.   
      
   The earliest attack for which he has been charged is a February 1997 assault   
   in Prince George's County, in which a woman was confronted by an assailant on   
   a 10-speed bike, according to The Post.   
      
   He wasn't captured until March 2011 after a massive manhunt following the 2009   
   Halloween attack.   
      
   In a tell-all interview with the Post on Nov. 10, 2012, from his Virginia jail   
   cell, Thomas admitted he was the man known as the "East Coast Rapist,"   
   something he has also admitted to law enforcement.   
      
   “I need help with this problem. It’s serious,” Thomas told The Post in   
   2012. “I don’t think I’m crazy, but something is wrong with me.”
