Update: Brooklyn Rape Suspect Says He's Innocent

The man seen in this surveillance video inside a local Dunkin' Donuts has come forward to profess his innocence. Though the DD location was not specified, I assume it's the one on 4th ave and 25th street, since officials say that they believe he followed a woman from this location to her Greenwood Heights apartment, where he assaulted her. 

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says, Via NY1:

"We had an individual who turned himself in and said he is the one that's on the tape that we showed a tape from Dunkin' Donuts as you recall but he claims that he didn't have anything to do with the crime. The investigation is ongoing. We're still talking to this individual," Kelly said.

We'll keep you posted as more news is provided. 

UPDATE: Tuesday, 11PM: NY1 reports that the man is 24 year-old William Giraldo, who was questioned by police all day before being arrested and charged with rape late this evening. As of now he's only being charged with the latest incident (further charges include robbery, assault, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct) that occurred in Greenwood Heights this past Saturday. An investigation is still ongoing with regard to the other three attacks, but it sounds like he's still the main suspect for those as well. 

[Second Update: 12/12/11: William Giraldo has been cleared of all charges following a DNA test]
