A Lower Saucon Township man was found guilty of raping three women and holding them in involuntary servitude in separate incidents that occurred in Bethlehem, Hanover Township, Northampton County, and Philadelphia in September and October 2017 following a jury trial in Easton this week, LehighValleyLive.com reported Friday.
Seth R. Mull, 31, was acquitted of raping a fourth woman but was found guilty of indecent assault, sex trafficking and involuntary servitude in that case, which stemmed from an incident in October 2017 in Bethlehem, the website reported.
Mull’s attorney, Matthew Potts, disputed the verdict, saying the women had the opportunity to leave Mull and that he plans to appeal the verdict, before declining to comment further, it was reported.
Mull is suspected of being a violent serial rapist and human trafficker and according to news reports late last year has been tied to investigations into rape and human trafficking cases throughout the continental United States and in Hawaii–where he once lived–with authorities stating they believed other possible victims of Mull’s had yet to come forward.
