TACOMA – Terapon Adhahn, the man suspected in the kidnapping and murder of Zina Linnik and the person of interest in the death of Adre'anna Jackson, has been booked into the Pierce County Jail on multiple unrelated charges, including more than 50 counts of child rape.

According to the Pierce County Proescutor's Office , Adhahn was booked into the Pierce County Jail on one count of kidnapping and three counts of first degree child rape for the May 31, 2000 kidnapping and rape of an 11-year-old girl who was found duct taped to a tree at Fort Lewis.

Adhahn has also been booked on one count of first degree rape, three counts of second degree rape and three counts of third degree child rape involving a girl who lived with him in Spanaway between 2001 and 2005. Probable cause documents indicate the girl told investigators that she was raped once or twice a week and that the total number of rapes was somewhere between 150 and 200. In some of the cases the girl, who lived with Adhahn between the ages of 12- and 15-years-old, told police she would sometimes be restrained. She said she ran away after the last rape in which she allegedly told Adhahn "No, I'm not doing that anymore." The documents say "the defendant pointed a gun on her and told her to 'shut up and just do it.""

Adhan is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday on those kidnapping and rape chares, as well as failing to register as a sex offender.

There are an additional 50 counts of third degree child rape. Tacoma Police would not say if those counts related to the girl who was living with Adhahn.

Adhahn was arrested on an immigration violation during the search for Linnik, the 12-year-old who disappeared from behind her Tacoma home on July 4. A week later, police say information given to them by Adhahn's attorney led them to Linnik's body in the area of Silver Lake near Eatonville.

Tacoma Police named Adhahn a suspect in the murder the next day.

On Tuesday, Lakewood Police officially named Adhahn a person of interest in the death of Adre'anna Jackson. The 10-year-old disappeared in December 2005 and was found dead four months later.

Police and FBI are also looking into whether Adhahn is connected to any other missing children's cases in the northwest and around the country.
