Cambridge Police share video, photos of suspect in connection with multiple sexual assaults

Cambridge Police are releasing a series of videos and photos of a suspect they believe is associated with three separate indecent assaults.

The first one occurred on Feb. 10, when a 35-year-old Cambridge woman reported that she was approached from behind in the Mason Street and Phillips Place near Harvard Square shortly after 9 a.m. and a suspect reportedly put their hand on her buttocks then her groin. The suspect then ran to Brattle Square.

On April 13, a 47-year-old Somerville woman was physically and sexually assaulted near the Porter Exchange Shopping Center on Mass. Ave at around 8:40 a.m. The woman said she was walking down Roseland Street toward Mass. Ave when she felt someone quickly approach her. As she tried to step away, the suspect reportedly reached up her skirt and felt her buttocks before running away.

On Aug. 24, a 19-year-old Cambridge woman reported that a man came up behind her and grabbed her chest on Prescott Street and Broadway near Harvard Yard at around 3:20 p.m. When she turned around, the suspect reportedly laughed and ran toward Prescott and Cambridge Street. Police stopped a man who resembled the suspect, but was later determined not to be the suspect.

The suspect was described in each case as a man, possibly Hispanic, who stands between 5’3″ and 5’8″, has a medium build and was carrying a black backpack. He is believed to have a unique gait, and often runs on his toes.

Police released surveillance video after the April attack and investigated a number of subsequent tips, but did not identify a suspect.

Cambridge Police reminds residents to be aware of their surroundings, carry a cell phone, stay in well-lit areas at night and call 911 if they feel threatened or observe suspicious activity.

If any residents, businesses or others in the area have information about these incidents or thinks they may recognize the man in the video, they’re asked to call 617-349-3300.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
