Suspect faces more charges
Vinson Champ, a suspect in a
spree of rapes last year, was in
court Thursday morning on two
indecent exposure charges.
The charges were postponed
until Oct. 29, according to court
documents.
Champ is accused of exposing
himself to two different prison
guards who were doing their night
rounds, once on May 23 and once -
on June 23.
In both cases, Champ denied
the charge, saying he would “deny
them until the cows come home.”
Champ has been incarcerated
since March on charges of raping a
Union College woman in February
of 1997.
tie also is suspected in connec
tion with similar college rapes
around the same time; one in
Kenosha, Wis., and one in
Davenport, Iowa.
At the time of the attacks,
Champ was touring small
Midwestern colleges as a stand-up
comedian.
Champ also faces two charges
of assault stemming from a May 1
fight in the jail.
A card game sparked the dis
agreement between Champ and
another inmate. During the fight a
third inmate also was injured.
All of Champ’s recent charges
are pending in county and district
courts.
The rape charges in all three
states have been delayed since last
year, some pending DNA results.

Accident victim upgraded
crossing 14th Street near the
Campus Recreation Center.
Marquart had been on campus
visiting some friends from her
years at Lincoln High School.
Three of the four friends were
talking to someone in a car that had
stopped near the recreation center.
Marquart was crossing back to
the east side of the street to talk to
the fourth person when a south
bound car hit her.
Witnesses say the car did not
have its headlights on, but it hap
pened so fast they did not even see
her get hit.
