WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Two pictures of the East Coast Rapist suspect taken a decade apart have surfaced.

The oldest picture was taken in June 2001 in Prince William County when Aaron Thomas was arrested on domestic assault and battery charges.

The most recent picture comes from his arrest in New Haven, Connecticut last week in connection with the East Coast Rapist case (courtesy of Connecticut Department of Correction).

Aaron Thomas was arrested Friday in Connecticut. Authorities believe he assaulted at least 17 women from Virginia to Rhode Island. Police say DNA confirmed Thomas is person they dubbed the East Coast Rapist.
