A Yorba Linda man has pleaded guilty to raping three women, two of whom he met on MySpace, according to the Orange County District Attorney.
Jason Ara Erpinar, 22, was convicted in a Fullerton courthouse Monday on two felony counts of using drugs or alcohol to commit rape and one felony count of forcible rape, with a sentencing enhancement for sex crimes against multiple victims.
He is accused of raping a 22-year-old woman in a Newport Beach hotel on March 26, 2008, after meeting her on MySpace and getting her intoxicated. The woman woke up the following day with a cracked tooth and scraped face, according to prosecutors.
Erpinar also allegedly met an 18-year-old woman on the social networking site and took her to a party in La Habra on March 7, 2009 raping her in a bathroom after incapacitating her with alcohol, according to the District Attorney's office.
Erpinar is also charged with raping his then-girlfriend, who was 17 years old, several times in a physically abusive relationship between August 2006 and October 2007, according to prosecutors.
In an unrelated case, Erpinar is also charged with burglary and receiving stolen property for allegedly stealing a purse, wallet, computer equipment and video games from a friend's house after he was asked to leave the friend's party, prosecutors said, adding that he allegedly gave the stolen goods to another friend.
He is due in court on Wednesday and faces up to 15 years in prison
