The first crime committed by the East Area Rapist occurred in mid-1976 in the Sacramento area. Over the next decade, more than 45 women were raped and 12 people were murdered by the man later called the Golden State Killer.

Those charges are now combined with the 13 murder charges already filed in Santa Barbara, Orange, Ventura, Tulare and Sacramento counties.

Orange County's DA says more charges should come.

DeAngelo will be prosecuted in Sacramento County but officials say it could take years.
