From November 16 to November 18, Denton Geiger, 42, a San Francisco resident, held his (ex)girlfriend captive in their former home, where beat and raped her. (Jesus.) According to the Examiner, "Geiger allegedly approached the victim on Haight as she sold marijuana and persuaded her to go to their former home...[t]he victim escaped on Nov. 18 when an acquaintance entered the residence and intervened as she fled to a neighbor’s house."

After a good old-fashion SFPD stakeout at the Transbay Terminal -- it seems Geiger planned on leaving the city after catching wind that the fuzz was after him -- he was snatched up, thrown in the clink, and charged with attempted murder, five counts of rape, oral copulation, making terrorist threats, and kidnapping for the purpose of rape.
