One woman reported she left a diner and walked home when Likins-Osbey drove up and offered a ride. Likins-Osbey persisted until she accepted and got into the car. They drove to Liberty Memorial, where Likins-Osbey demanded oral sex. He told the victim that he had a gun.
The woman ran away from the vehicle and hailed a cab.
Another woman told police that a man, later identified as Likins-Osbey approached her car one late night in Westport. After the woman gave Likins-Osbey a ride to his car, he pulled a gun on her and demanded oral sex. He forced the woman to drive to a parking garage, where he raped her.
Likins-Osbey was arrested after the victims identified him from photo lineups, prosecutors said.
