(LEX 18) — A man facing multiple counts of rape, sodomy, sexual abuse, and kidnapping of adults in Lexington is now facing a new charge in Louisville.

KSP says 53-year-old George Wayne Aldridge has been charged with an additional indictment for sexual assault.

He was indicted on first-degree rape in Jefferson County earlier this month.

Aldridge was identified as a suspect in the Lexington case after using forensic genetic genealogy, a relatively new DNA technology.

According to court records, the Louisville count is tied to a rape that happened in 2005 along with the sexual assault.
