A man accused of raping women in and around the East End of Pittsburgh is back in court facing new charges.
Police say new DNA evidence links Keith Wood, 49, to two more rapes in Pittsburgh, one in Swissvale and one in Edgewood.
Wood was arrested in February and charged with attacking a woman in Forest Hills in July of 2000.
He's since been charged with rapes in June of 2000 in Oakland and August of 2000 in Squirrel Hill.
Wood is already behind bars on a $1 million bond awaiting trial on the sexual assault of woman at a home in Edgewood in July of 2000.
Police say the profile is the same in each case, with the suspect entering through unlocked doors and windows.
Wood is expected to be arraigned on the new charges sometime today.
