Orlando Robles, 51, was charged with kidnapping; two counts of rape, indecent assault and battery on a person over 14; nine counts of assault and battery; assault with the intent to commit an indecent assault and battery; and use of a vehicle in the commission of a crime. He was arraigned in Fall River Superior Court on Wednesday and was ordered held without bail, Quinn's office said in a statement.

The first assault was on a woman who was walking home and he offered to drive her in his car, indicating he was on his way to pick up his child. Once she was in the car, he drove to a secluded area, choked her, grabbed her breasts and sexually assaulted her. As she tried to pull herself away, the man hit her in the head.

A man grabbed her by the throat, forced her back in the car, hit her face and raped her as she tried to get away. This similarly happened to a third woman before he fled, Quinn's office said.

Officials last week said they were reversing a promised exemption from the legislation for the video-sharing site. Part of the reason YouTube's inclusion has struck such a nerve is because it's impossible to overstate how intertwined it has become with pop culture for a generation who grew up on it.
