Friday, Wichita police arrested 51-year-old David Gage at a motel in the
8900 block of West Kellogg. They say he raped a woman he contacted on
Craig's List. The victim told police Gage showed her a badge and police
scanner, claiming to be a U.S. Marshall.

Police began investigating last week, after receiving a tip posted on Craig's
List. The tip warned women and escorts to be careful of a man going by the
names David and Lee. The warning said he would meet women, pull out a
badge, gun and handcuffs; claim to be a cop and threaten to arrest his
victims unless they had sex with him.

In at least one other incident, it's believed he also robbed a woman.

"We know he used a false badge... as part of his ploy," said Wichita Police
Capt. Brent Allred on Monday. "We believe there are additional women out
there who have met this individual and been involved in these situations."

While police know of two cases, they believe there could be additional victims. If women have information about similar incidents they can call the Wichita Police Sex Crimes Division at (316) 268-4156.

Investigators say Gage has been in trouble before. In the late 90's, police
say Gage was charged with misdemeanors after trying to solicit sex from an
undercover police officer. He could now face felony charges when officers
present their evidence to the District Attorney later this week. Gage
remains in the Sedgwick County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
