A Massachusetts man is wanted, for a third time, for charges that include sexual assault, aggravated robbery and kidnapping. He’s a suspect in Massachusetts, Colorado and now Oregon, reported Fox News Boston.

The suspect, Gregory Lewis, 26, reportedly cut off a GPS monitoring device on Sept. 15, according to the Boston Herald, and headed to Charlotte, North Carolina, where he allegedly kidnapped, robbed and assaulted a woman he had met on a dating website. The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, spoke to ABC Channel 7 news Denver.

Back home in Southbridge, he then reportedly attacked a family member. The Boston Herald reports that he went back to his home in Southbridge, attacked his stepfather, and grabbed cash and a handgun before taking off again.

In Massachusetts, he was arraigned in August on statutory rape charges and indecent assault and battery. In Denver, he reportedly “violently attacked a woman” in October, said the Herald. His crimes in Denver mimic those in North Carolina.

Lewis is described as a white male slightly taller than six feet, weighing 240 to 270 pounds, with brown hair and tattoos (one holding a knife on his chest), reported Fox.

Lewis was on house arrest and accused of assaulting a child, and “committed crimes across several states,” reported ABC News Channel 7 Denver.

According to a Tweet from ABC Channel 5 News, police are protecting a 13-year-old victim of Lewis’s, because Lewis reportedly threatened the victim and the victim’s family.

WBZ News’s Karen Twomey Tweeted at 10:30 a.m. on Monday that state police are confirming the fugitive is headed back east.
