A NASA engineer, who's worked for the world's most prestigious space program for over 10 years, has been accused of being a serial rapist, with Texas prosecutors inviting other victims to come forward.
Eric Sim, 37, who had been working at the Houston space center since at least 2012 according to his social media, has been charged with six counts of sexual assault in Houston.
There are at least six victims between 2019-2022, who prosecutors revealed met Sim through online apps, like Hinge, East Meets West and OKCupid.
Sims used his position at NASA to gain trust, claiming he was looking for a committed relationship, to lure the victims to his home where they were pinned down and raped, prosecutors claim.
'His predatory behavior with the victims in these cases, along with his NASA credentials, frequently mentioned to gain creditability with his victims and his international travel, all are clues that could indicate that could indicate further victims who are out there,' Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg stated at a press conference Wednesday.
