DOVER, N.H. (AP) – A 34-year-old plumbing and heating salesman from Maine faces charges he raped a 19-year-old woman who was picked because she was alone in a home for sale.

Oliver Daniel Hooper Jr., 34, of Gorham, Maine, was arrested Thursday after he walked into the police station with his attorney.

Hooper’s attorney, John Durkin of Dover, told detectives he brought his client to the station because some of Hooper’s co-workers had told him that he looked like the suspect, said Dover Police Chief William Fenniman.

Hooper was arrested after the victim and another woman picked him out of a photo lineup.

He did not speak at his arraignment Friday on two charges of aggravated felonious sexual assault and was ordered held on $500,000 bail.

The woman was raped July 26.

Since the case was publicized, at least 10 other women have stepped forward to say a man matching the rapist’s description approached them.

Police took his picture, which was picked out of a photo lineup by the victim and a witness in Newburyport, Mass., a nanny who lives in Newmarket.

Police said Hooper posed as a potential home buyer on July 26 and asked the woman questions about the home. He said he was interested in buying the home, then he forced his way inside and assaulted her.

Witnesses from Dover and in the northeastern Massachusetts communities of Newburyport, Georgetown and Boxford reported that a suspect like one in a police sketch also had visited them. Their homes also were for sale. None of the witnesses said they were assaulted.

Police said they were not the right type of victim. Some were pregnant or had kids at home.

Police obtained a warrant to search Hooper’s home and get DNA and other evidence from him after the arrest. Dover detectives searched the home with Maine State Police.

Police still are looking for the vehicle spotted by many of the witnesses, a blue minivan with Maine license plates.

A 2005 blue Dodge Caravan with the license plate 5633ME is registered to the company Hooper works for in Portland, Maine, Fenniman said. Hooper works as a sales representative for a plumbing and heating supply company, but police wouldn’t release the firm’s name.

The company received a complaint two years ago that Hooper was following a female, police said.

Hooper had previous addresses in Finksburg, Md., Rockford, Ill., Framington, Mass., and Limington, Maine before he moved to Gorham, Maine.

Fenniman said he believes there may be other victims.
