The work of Stranger reporter Sydney Brownstone has led to charges of rape against former Capitol Hill resident Matt Hickey. Prosecutors and police say the Seattle writer and photographer Hickey sexually assaulted incapacitated victims including preying on a woman he met in a Capitol Hill bar.

Brownstone broke the news Thursday after a series of articles this summer that included the first public allegations against Hickey:

That piece, “The Audition,” detailed stories from six women who said Hickey told them he was working with a female porn recruiter, and asked them to audition for them. Three of the six women told The Stranger that Hickey then had them have sex with him under the guise of auditioning for a porn shoot. They never received work as a result, and later discovered that the online profile of the female porn recruiter had actually been a fake composite of identities stolen from two other women.

In the court documents, Detective Michelle Gallegos writes that nine women reported that Hickey had sex or attempted to have sex “under false pretenses or stated Hickey had sex with them when they were too intoxicated to give consent.” The investigation was bolstered by Brownstone’s reporting, the detective writes:

Prosecutors have charged Hickey with three counts of second degree rape:

Hickey, who prosecutors say moved out of state during the investigation, is now wanted on a $200,000 warrant. The 40-year-old, whose last provided Seattle address was the 200 block of 16th Ave E, will face arraignment and can enter a plea October 27th.

UPDATE 10/14/16: SPD reports Hickey has been taken into custody: “Arrested in Las Vegas area at 2:45 PM today with assistance from fugitive task force. Will be booked into the Clark County Jail.”
