MANHATTAN — A serial rapist was arrested Wednesday and charged with raping a woman inside a Gramercy bar restroom over the weekend, according to the NYPD.
Rodney Stover, 48, who has two prior arrests for rape, attacked a 23-year-old woman inside Turnmill at 119 E. 27th Street at about 7:45 p.m. Saturday, police said.
