Serial Allston Rapist Charged in 5 Attacks, District Attorney Says

An Allston man has been indicted on charges he sexually assaulted several women in and around the Boston University campus over the last year.

Steven Lent, 26, of Brighton Avenue, was arrested in May.

He’s accused of raping two women on Aug. 14, 2014, in Brighton and grabbing or exposing himself to at least four Boston University students over the last year.

Following his arrest, Lent was released on $50,000 and has been staying in New Hampshire, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley.

Police said Lent would appear to be jogging when he attacked the women. All of the assaults happened within a mile of his apartment, police said.

Police distributed these surveillance photos taken by a Boston University security camera at 855 Commonwealth Ave. were key in capturing Lent:
