A Warren man, dubbed by prosecutors as a "serial rapist" was found  guilty Monday for forcing his way into a woman's car at knifepoint at a Champion Township car wash on June 4.

David Honzu, 64, was found guilty on the three counts of kidnapping, robbery, and tampering with evidence.

The bench trial was held in the Trumbull County Please Courtroom of Common Pleas visiting judge Gary Yost. The woman told police that Honzu told her to get into the passenger side of the car but she didn't move.

Honzu will be sentenced in December.

According to the report, the victim was able to get out of the car and move away from Honzu, who tried to grab her shirt as she escaped. Police say the victim ran away through the parking lot.

Honzu was arrested the next day and has been in the Trumbull County Jail since then.

That indictment stems from what Assistant County Prosecutor Gabe Wildman calls a "cold case" that allegedly occurred on July 29, 2007. Wildman says they have been working on the case for years.

He says because of a statewide cold case initiative, which includes testing old rape kits, the county was able to indict him.

In 2016 Honzu was sentenced to one-and-a-half years in prison after being convicted of attempted abduction.

Calling Honzu a "serial rapist", Wildman says Honzu has been previously convicted of menacing by stalking a child and escape.

In a separate case, Honzu is scheduled to go on trial December 12 at 8:30 am in Judge Ronald Rice's Trumbull County courtroom on three counts of kidnapping with sexual motivation and two counts of rape. The indictment in that case also accuses Honzu of being a sexually violent predator.
