Craig Webb
An Akron man wanted by authorities is suspected of raping two minors.
The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force on Monday offered a reward for information leading to the apprehension of John A. White.
The 38-year-old faces two counts of rape, two counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and gross sexual imposition of a minor.
He is suspected of raping two 12-year-old girls in an Akron residence in May.
Authorities say he fled his own residence after a 16-year-old was found in his Akron apartment.
White is described as being 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 165 pounds.
Authorities suspect he may be in the Cleveland and Akron area as he is known to frequent those areas.
White has a previous felony assault conviction in Summit County from 2011.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force at 1-866-4WANTED. Tipsters can remain anonymous and reward money is available.
