Fort Myers Man Arrested In Connection To 22-Year-Old Rape Case

A Fort Myers man is behind bars after DNA evidence linked him to a 22-year-old rape case.

Lee County Sheriff's deputies arrested 46-year-old Paul S. Jacobs on Wednesday. He's charged with the sexual battery of a minor.

The victim called the sheriff's office on Dec. 9, 1995 alleging that a man driving a red vehicle offered to take her to get something to eat at a restaurant. Instead, he drove to a wooded area and raped her. He then drove her to an apartment complex and let her go.

Undersheriff Carmine Marceno says Jacobs was identified as a result of a DNA match. 

He is being held without bond in jail.
