A Las Vegas man has been arrested in association with several violent rapes of local prostitutes, and authorities are seeking help in locating other possible victims. Police say 29-year-old Denver Baoec-Ascuncion was arrested earlier this month after multiple women came forward recounting recent incidents of kidnapping and sexual assault. 8 News Now reports that the 28-year-old Las Vegas man faces multiple counts , and there may be other victims. Two separate prostitutes between December 20th and January 7th reportedly told police that Ascuncion picked them up and forced them into sexual acts.

A Tennessee man is in jail after police say he used an Apple Watch to track his former girlfriend, who had previously accused him of domestic violence. The details of this story are shocking, and should serve as a reminder for victims of stalking and domestic violence to be hyper diligent in making sure their security isn’t under threat.
Fox 5 News reports that Laurence Welch was arrested and charged in association with attaching a tracking device to his ex girlfriend’s car while it was parked at a domestic violence resource center. The incident took place on Friday and was reportedly seen by witnesses, who say they saw Welch approach the woman’s car before crouching down. At the time of the incident, the victim was inside the facility to seek a safe place away from the man. When police arrived at the scene, an Apple Watch was found attached to the spoke part of one of the woman’s vehicle’s tires. The woman, who isn’t being identified for her safety, told police that the watch belonged to Welch.
Like every other Apple product, the Apple Watch can be tracked through the “Find My” feature, but there are also a multitude of apps that can be installed to these devices for tracking purposes. These features and apps are incredibly useful for when it comes to misplacing your items or keeping track of your children — but there are clearly darker uses for these apps as well. As this story illustrates, the Apple Watch can very easily be used as a tracking device — although an incredibly expensive one.
