A “brutal rapist” with the word “sacrifice” tattooed on his forehead sexually assaulted and mutilated a woman in Orlando, Florida authorities said.
Authorities are now searching for Bruce Whitehead, 54, after he allegedly attacked a woman on Pine Hills Road near North Lane on December 10.
Heavily tattooed Whitehead previously spent 20 years in prison for rape and attempted murder in the 1980s, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office said in a tweet.
In a heavily redacted incident report obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, agents said the woman was walking near Thee Dollhouse strip club on Orange Blossom Trail when Whitehead approached her.

The report redacts what happened next, but noted that the woman “voluntarily got into the car with the suspect.” The suspect then drove to a 7-Eleven service station on Orange Blossom Trail and then drove to another location, where he allegedly forced her out of the car with a knife.
Whitehead allegedly approached her on the passenger side of the car and demanded she get out “while holding a knife to her throat,” according to the report.
