   DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — An accused serial rapist tied to cases across metro   
   Atlanta has been captured.   
      
   District Attorney Sherry Boston said the alleged rapist, 58-year-old Wesley   
   Cooley, is linked to eight cold cases over nearly two decades.   Cooley was   
   identified through the efforts of the sexual assault task force. Five of the   
   sexual assaults took    
   place in DeKalb County.   
      
   On Feb. 24, the fugitive and K-9 units from the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office   
   with assistance from the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office served a warrant for   
   the arrest of Cooley on a single count of rape.   
      
   "Today, a dangerous predator whom we believe has been terrorizing women for at   
   least two decades is off the streets," Boston said.   
      
   He attempted to run but was taken into custody a short time later near his   
   home in Conyers without further incident.

   The charge against Cooley stems from an April 2017 rape of a female victim   
   along Northlake Parkway in Tucker. Boston said he was identified as a suspect   
   following a positive DNA match.   
      
   She said further investigation revealed that the DNA evidence from the 2017   
   crime also linked the accused attacker to seven other unsolved sexual assault   
   cases including four in DeKalb two in Atlanta and one in Conyers.   
      
   She said the crimes date back to 1999 and that the ages of the victims range   
   from 15 to 38 at the time of the offenses.   
      
   He is currently being held at the DeKalb County Jail without bond.
