   A suspected serial rapist in Los Angeles police have said targeted women he   
   met through social media and filmed the assaults has been indicted by a grand   
   jury, prosecutors said Wednesday.   
      
   Terrance Hawkins, 42, could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of all   
   26 felony charges filed against him which allege he physically and sexually   
   abused 11 women, according to the LA County District Attorney's Office. The   
   indictment details    
   charges such as forcible rape and stalking involving victims from throughout   
   the county over a span of nearly 10 years.

   Terrance Hawkins, Los Angeles Police Department   
      
   "Hawkins has a long history of briefly dating women, abusing them and filming   
   them during sexual intercourse," the Los Angeles Police Department said in a   
   statement last year. Police have said he would prowl social media for victims,   
   baiting them into    
   going out with him before sexually assaulting them.   
      
   He was arrested in March 2023 and remained behind bars for 15 days before   
   being freed after posting bond, county inmate records show. A little over a   
   month later, on April 26, 2023, he was arrested again and later booked into   
   the Twin Towers Correctional    
   Facility in downtown LA.   
      
   Hawkins has remained in custody since as he's being held without bail, records   
   show.   
      
   In May 2023, LAPD released a statement asking other potential victims to come   
   forward. At the time, police said in the statement that Hawkins has a "long   
   history" of assaulting women. Over two months, LAPD detectives identified at   
   least 16 potential    
   victims.   
      
   His next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 7.   
      
   The grand jury indictment the DA's office announced Wednesday lists more than   
   two dozen charges involving 11 women, crimes that prosecutors say he committed   
   between 2014 and 2023.   
      
   The indictment lists the following charges:   
      
   10 counts of forcible rape   
   one count of forcible sexual penetration   
   one count of rape of an unconscious person   
   four counts of inflicting injury on a significant other causing traumatic   
   condition with a prior conviction for a similar offense   
   five counts of inflicting injury on a significant other causing traumatic   
   condition   
   three counts of stalking   
   one count of cruelty to an animal   
   one count of felon in possession of a firearm   
      
   Law enforcement officials believe there could be other victims out there and   
   has asked anyone with information to come forward. The DA's office is urging   
   anyone who believes they were victimized by Hawkins to call LAPD's Operation   
   Central Bureau - Family    
   Justice Center at 213-709-9017. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call LA   
   Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.
