Eligible bachelor accused of rapes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080107/ap_on_re_us/eligible_bachelor_rape;_ylt=AsTfJC3AlfiQuGMhtZajWS 9vzwcF)
BOSTON - Gary Zerola's dark, brooding looks and his work on behalf of foster children helped earn him a spot on People magazine's list of America's "Most Eligible Bachelors" and a tryout for the TV reality show "The Bachelor."
But authorities now say Zerola had another, darker sideline — as a rapist who preys on young women.
He awaits back-to-back trials beginning Tuesday in Boston on charges he attacked two 19-year-olds in 2004 and 2006. He also faces charges in Florida, where authorities say he force-fed drugs to an 18-year-old woman, then raped her in a Miami Beach hotel in October while free on bail in the Massachusetts assaults.
I always thought those People listings were over rated.
