Police charge man with raping woman in Mount Vernon
UPDATE: Baltimore police corrected the name of the suspect -- he is Karriem Mason, 37, with a last known address in the 1100 block of McKean Ave. That's in West Baltimore, in the Sandtown-Winchestern neighborhood, two blocks from the Western District police station.
He was arrested on a charge of marijuana possession on May 28, and has a court date scheduled for June. Court records show two other drug possession arrests in 2010, but no convictions.
Baltimore police have charged a man with raping a woman in her apartment in Mount Vernon:
This morning, 37 year old Kareem Mason has been formally charged with rape and sexual assault for the attack which took place yesterday afternoon in the 900 block of St. Paul Street. Mr. Mason is accused of raping a woman in her twenties while she was moving personal items into her apartment.
Comments
Everyone involved in apprehending this individual deserves a thank you from the entirety of Baltimore. The fact that it went from crime to capture so quickly is a testament to all involved.

I find it interesting the Sun has no problems publishing the name, address and mug shot of man accused of rape, an accusation based entirely on a single account told his alleged victim, yet we don't know the victim's name nor are we allowed access to view her criminal history. If the alleged rapist is found to be innocent of all charges his life is still ruined through public humiliation. Good going, Sun.

It is unforunate the Maryland State Police do not allow women like the victim to concealed carry a firearm without being assaulted or having a specific threat. I cannot say for sure that if the victim was armed she would have been able to fight off her attacker, but at least she would have had the opportunity to defend herself. It is disgusting that Maryland citizens cannot defend themselves against crimes like this because of the MSP.

This is the same guy that attacked my neighbor in my building and tried raping her one block away from this other person. Sad that he wasnt caught the first time. I hope any others come forward.
