Trever Deion Blue, who is accused of raping 11 women in the Hambrick Road area of Stone Mountain, is behind bars at the DeKalb County Jail.

Blue, 19, was captured Feb. 26, after he allegedly assaulted a 21 year-old woman shortly after she pulled into her apartment. Police said the woman managed to get away and Blue then took off in her car.

Jason Gagnon, a DeKalb Police spokesman, said that an alert was put on the missing car. “There was a brief chase and he was taken into custody,” Gagnon said.

The neighborhood had been terrorized for months, prompting elected officials to host meetings sharing tips with women about how to protect themselves. Blue faces more than 30 charges involving rape, aggravated sodomy, kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and armed robbery.

DeKalb acting Police Chief William O’Brien said the woman was exiting her vehicle at midnight when she was accosted at gunpoint. The suspect forced her into her vehicle and sexually assaulted her.

“I would like to thank the victims for having the strength to come forward in these cases,” O’Brien said. “In a couple of them, the females have actually fought with this perpetrator.”

Gagnon said Blue was connected with the other crimes based on statements but that he did not confess.

Blue is being held without bond on most of the charges. In order to receive bond, he must formally request a hearing in Superior Court. Orzy Theus, a spokesman for the DeKalb District Attorney’s Office, said he had not requested a hearing as of Thursday afternoon. Gagnon seemed assured that Blue would remain behind bars.

“With those kinds of charges, he’s not coming out,” he said. “I can guarantee that.”
