Two of the men, who were indicted in recent years as John Doe defendants, have pleaded not guilty to charges including rape. The third man died in 2020, prosecutors said.

O’Malley and Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Mary Weston said that they went as far as to get a search warrant to get a sample of the tissue of the man who died from the Cleveland Clinic, where he had been treated for pancreatic cancer, so they could test his DNA against that taken from one of the rape kits.

Weston said she hopes the technology can bring solace to the minds of the women who were attacked. Weston said one of the women told her that when she stands in line at a Starbucks or in a grocery store, she sometimes wonders if the man who raped her is in line behind her.
