The Duke University Police Department has suspended, with pay, an officer charged in a “bondage rape” in Alabama where he allegedly gagged and handcuffed a woman in his car before violating her.

And the sheriff in Dothan, Ala., where Webster Delenn Simmons, 37, was charged Monday with felony first-degree rape and felony first-degree sodomy, said he believes the crime may not be an isolated event.

“I think there’s a real distinct possibility he’s done this before,” Sheriff Andy Hughes of Houston County said Tuesday. “We are alerting other law enforcement agencies nationwide to see if they have unsolved rapes like this. We would not be shocked at all if he had done this before.”
