A South Carolina man accused of raping 12 women between 1995 and
2003 was arrested Tuesday, police said.

Gregory Frye, 52, was hit with “one count of burglary, first-
degree kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct” with more charges
likely to come, the Spartanburg Police Department said. About
six months ago, authorities started to re-investigate the cases,
which led them to collect new DNA samples and re-interview
victims.

"Investigators from both agencies worked tirelessly reviewing
all of the old cases, re-interviewing victims, identifying
potential family members of possible suspects, collecting new
DNA samples, and sending that evidence to the State Law
Enforcement Division (SLED) for analysis," the department said
in a statement. "We received notification from SLED last week
that through their analysis, a suspect with a matching DNA
profile had been identified."

The attacks all happened in the early morning hours at apartment
complexes in Spartanburg County. One woman said she was attacked
twice. The victims were described as white women who were ages
14 to 51 years old, ABC News reported. Authorities said it was
possible there were more than 12 victims.

Frye lived and worked in the area “over the years,” ABC News
reported.

"I can't imagine how some of the victims must have felt knowing
that it took this long," Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright
said Tuesday. "Prayers have been answered, I just want you to
know that. There's been a lot of people praying that we'd catch
a break and we did. And not only did we catch a break, we ran
with it."

Frye is being held at the Spartanburg County Detention Center.
It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

"This is just a great day to know we got at least one person
that is going to be held accountable for a reign of terror that
he's caused for these victims," Wright said. "These victims are
stronger than that and they are really inspirational."
