SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) ?
A man has been arrested in connection with a trio of brutal sexual assaults that happened in the Sacramento area more than 20 years ago, thanks to DNA technology, officials said.

Mark Manteuffel, 59, is facing a slew of charges, including torture and rape, in connection with assaults in Sacramento, Sacramento County and Davis, Sacramento police said at a news conference Monday.

Manteuffel attended Sacramento State and worked as a part-time lecturer on criminal justice, police said.

Federal agents arrested Manteuffel on Friday in Georgia. He is expected to be extradited back to Sacramento in the next few days.

Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said authorities were able to link him to the crimes using genealogy technology.

?If the tools are there, we are going to use them,? said Schubert.

?This case is about a forward-thinking DNA analyst from our crime lab who knew the value of preserving rape kits far longer than the law required at the time,? she added.

(CBS13) – A retired corrections officer living in Georgia and accused of several Sacramento-area rapes between 1992 and 1994 is scheduled to appear before a judge Friday.

Mark Manteuffel was arrested Monday with the help of the same DNA technology that led to the arrest of the alleged East Area Rapist. He’s accused of carrying out three violent rapes.

In the first two cases, women were raped and tortured with a knife in their own home. In the third case, he reportedly used a stun gun on a college student and dragged her off where he committed “monstrous crimes.”

Manteuffel worked in federal prisons and lectured at Sacramento State. He lived in East Sacramento and went to Sac State — even worked there briefly.

The judge ordered no bail for Manteuffel during his first court appearance in Sacramento Friday.
