NASA engineer in Texas ‘believed to be serial rapist’

A NASA engineer has been charged in connection with six sexual assaults, Texas officials say. Now they are looking for more possible survivors. In a news conference Wednesday, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said 37-year-old Eric Sim is “believed to be a serial rapist,” and is encouraging other possible survivors to come forward.

“The nature of these offenses is so personal and so predatory that we felt it was important we tell the public,” Ogg said. “Take a look — a long hard look — at Mr. Sim and let us know if .... you’ve been victimized by him,” she added. Sim of Houston, was arrested in February at the Johnson Space Center and charged in two assault cases from 2021, according to KHOU. Since his arrest, four more women have come forward accusing Sim, a NASA employee of nine years, of sexual assaults that occurred between 2019 and 2022, according to officials and court records.
