Police in Alabama recently made a shocking discovery when investigating the sexual assault of a victim -- that her attacker may have had hundreds of other victims. They found hundreds and hundreds of undergarments from other women stashed in this man's home, meaning he has been at least stalking and/or burglarizing, and at worst physically attacking, many, many more people.
Sign the petition and demand that the Dothan Police Department do their due diligence, and investigate every single one of these pieces of evidence so that every victim gets justice!
It all started -- or rather, ended -- when John Uda broke into a woman's home and attempted to sexually assault her. She fought him off, getting injured in the process, but thankfully Uda was apprehended by police. After the attack, they decided to search his home, and that's where they found over 400 bras and pairs of underwear.
In 2019, John Uda was actually accused "of stealing underwear from the community laundry room at his apartment complex." There is nothing that states he was thoroughly investigated or charged for this. While stealing underwear is not a violent crime, it is an absolute invasion -- one that many experts believe could be a precursor to more violent sexual crimes. If the police had taken what happened in 2019 more seriously and investigated more thoroughly, this more recent attack may not have happened.
And although Uda was accused of this burglary in the past, there is no telling how many of his "trophies" came from break ins, burglaries, or attacks that were not the 2019 incident -- there are quite possibly many more victims that he has invaded the homes of, maybe some without them even knowing it. There is also the possibility that he has committed more violent attacks like this most recent one and gotten away with it.
The sheer number of pieces of evidence makes it clear that this is not an open and shut case. The police must take their immense resources and put them to good use, investigating and finding every single one of John Uda's victims. Sign the petition!
