A Brooklyn man was indicted in federal court Wednesday for allegedly kidnapping five women and preying on his victims while sexually assaulting and robbing them.

The defendant, Chad Barclay, was previously arrested back in November of last year for allegedly raping and robbing his first victim, whom he had met on an escort website and coerced to cross state lines to meet with him.

On Aug. 23, he received a 20-count superseding indictment — meaning his initial indictments were amended since he continued to commit crimes while out on bail — in the Eastern District federal courthouse.
