A Sacramento jury convicted a man on the last day of October whose attacks against three women in Sacramento County a decade ago led him to be known as the “Clover Leaf Rapist.”
According to the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office, JD Simien was found guilty of two counts of kidnapping to commit another crime, two counts of forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint and assault with intent to commit rape.

Jurors also found true allegations of kidnapping, multiple victims and the use of a knife, the DA’s office said.
The trial came after DNA on rape kits and clothing of the victims led investigators to use “Investigative Genetic Genealogy” to track down Simien and he was arrested in November of 2021 .
The attacks happened between December 2013 and March 2014.
Two of the three attacks occurred near the clover leaf interchange of Madison Avenue and I-80, just east of Sacramento McClellan Airport.
