Oudtshoorn - An alleged serial rapist is expected to appear in the George Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on 13 charges of rape, Western Cape police said on Friday.
The 25-year-old was arrested on Sunday morning at his home in Conville, George and has already appeared in court, said Captain Eddie Cronje.
He was arrested for two rapes committed in 1999, but was later linked to 11 others.
"The investigating officer... made an analysis of rape dockets and found that several of the perpetrators' modus operandi were the same. In each incident the perpetrator wore a balaclava," Cronje said.
The rapes were all committed in the Conville area.
