Ronnie Shelton: Serial Rapist罗尼·谢尔顿：连环强奸犯
During the 1980s, Cleveland, Ohio, was terrorized by a man who became known as the West Side Rapist.20世纪80年代，美国俄亥俄州克里夫兰市，因为一名男子而陷入了恐惧，后来被称为西城强奸犯的人。

When he was finally caught, Ronnie Shelton was found guilty of forty-nine rapes, twenty-nine aggravated burglaries, eighteen felonious assaults, sixty counts of gross sexual imposition, twelve kidnappings, nineteen counts of intimidation, three counts of cutting telephone lines, two thefts, and twenty-seven aggravated robberies.当他被抓住的时候，罗尼·谢尔顿犯下强奸49起，29加重型入室盗窃，18起加重型的故意伤害，性侵犯60起，12起绑架，恐吓19起，3起破坏公共设备（切断电话线），2起小偷小摸，和27加重型抢劫。

He was convicted on 220 counts of the indictment.他被判对220起案件负责。

The judge gave him 3,198 years, the longest sentence in Ohio history.法庭判了他3198年，在俄亥俄州历史上最长的刑期。

Shelton’s MO included entering the victim’s dwelling through a window or patio facing a wooded area or bushes offering concealment.谢尔顿的作案方式包括从面向可以提供隐蔽的树木繁茂的区域或灌木丛的窗户或露台进入受害人的住所。

He wore a ski mask, stocking, or scarf.他会戴着滑雪面具，长袜，或围巾。

He was initially violent, threatening the victim, throwing the victim to the floor, or holding a knife to her throat. 他会先用暴力威胁受害人，把他们丢在地板上，或者拿刀架在他们脖子上。

But he would then calm her down by convincing her he was not there to rape but to rob her, saying, “I just want money,”or something similar. 但他随后使她冷静下来，通过说服她，他是不强奸，只是抢劫，说，“我只是想要钱”，或者类似的话。

When he had the victim under control, he would return to the violent mode.当他控制住被害人，他又会回到暴力模式。

Shelton would use such phrases as, “Keep your eyes down,”“Cover your eyes,”or “Don’t look at me and I won’t kill you [or hurt your kids].”谢尔顿通常用这样的话，“把头低下来”“把眼睛闭上”“不许看我，不然我杀了你（或者伤害你的孩子）”
Before he left, he would verbally intimidate the victim with warnings such as, “Don’t call the police or I’ll come back and kill you.”在离开之前，他会口头威胁被害人，“不许报警，不然我会回来杀你”
It was in his verbal approach and the nature of his sexual assaults that Shelton’s signature was evident. 在他的语言方式和性侵的性质上来说，他的专属特征是显而易见的。

He was verbally degrading and exceptionally vulgar.他语言极其粗俗，各种侮辱。

He also would say such things as, “I have seen you with your boyfriend,”“I’ve seen you
around,”or “You know who I am.”他也会这样说，“我看到你和你的男朋友”，“我在附近见过你”，或者“你知道我是谁。
