Former State Street employee Ivan Y. Cheung was accused in multiple rapes, and two of the alleged victims were teenagers at the time
In an appearance Wednesday, the court discussed the case against 42-year-old Ivan Y. Cheung of Quincy. Cheung was originally accused of raping two women at knifepoint, and raping two teenagers, in multiple incidents between 2003 and 2006.
Prosecutors said they were able to tie Cheung to the crimes based on DNA evidence taken from a cigarette he was smoking. Investigators watching Cheung in June saw him smoking a cigarette near the South Bay Mall and picked it up after he tossed it.That DNA and a sexual assault evidence collection kit linked him to the rapes of the two women, authorities said. The similarity to the two teenage cases, along with the description of Cheung's car, linked him to the other cases.
Cheung's attorney, Peter Parker, argued that his client has abided by the conditions, which in a few cases were relaxed by the court both for work and for family events following an appropriate request. He also claimed that the remaining cases don't have as strong evidence as the two counts that were dropped, and that one of the victims has been described as"reluctant to participate" by investigators.
