A 71-year-old man, arrested after a lengthy police pursuit in Los Angeles Thursday, has been identified as a fugitive rape suspect out of Massachusetts who has been on the run for more than three decades.

Stephen Paul Gale was identified and charged with four counts of rape, two counts of kidnapping and a count of armed robbery of two women in a Framingham, Mass. store in 1989.

Authorities with the United States Marshals Service publicly named Gale as the suspect in May of this year.

According to reporting by WFXT Boston 25 News, the then 37-year-old Gale walked into a store called Hit or Miss on Dec. 27, 1989, armed with a handgun. He reportedly forced two women into the back of the store, had them empty money from a safe, made them undress and put them in separate rooms.
