Police in Florida have released images of multiple women who appear to be sleeping or passed out and could be victims of possible sexual assaults.
The Windermere Police Department are hoping the public can identify the women, who were all seen in videos they found earlier this year while searching the home of Darryl Patterson.
Patterson had been accused by a woman of trying to sexually assault her, and another woman came forward making similar allegations soon after.
The search happened in May, and still police have had no luck identifying the women so now need the public's help.
The search also uncovered a video of Patterson having sex with three women who were unconscious or passed out, though it is not clear if these women are the ones featured in that video.
Awful: Police have released images of women they found on a video of the home of a sex assault suspect in Windermere, Florida
Horrible: The women all appear unconscious or sleeping in the videos which were found at the home of Darryl Patterson
No luck: Police have spent months trying to identify the women with no luck
Many months: The videos were first found in May by police
'The Windermere Police Department is attempting to identify the woman in the photos attached, and check on their safety and well-being,' said a news release obtained by Local 6.
'Anyone with information regarding the identity of any of these woman (should contact the) Windermere Police Department.'
Patterson is a suspect, but has never been arrested
Authorities will not say however if the women have been victims of sexual assault, or if they would like to speak to them in regards to their case against Patterson.
'We're concerned that it could be a pattern or practice of bad behavior of sexual assaults and attempted sexual assaults,' said Windermere police Chief Dave Ogden in May.
Patterson's attorney, Leslie Sweet, said in May; 'You can have a video showing sexual acts, but you're not going to know about a lack of consent or whether there was consent unless you talk to the people involved.'
She then added; 'Darryl Patterson is a regular member of the community. He's very quiet, he's self-employed.'
Patterson, 48, is also a father.
Shortly after giving this statement Sweet actually stepped down as Patterson's lawyer, explaining her decision by saying she 'does not play games.'
Soon after more women came forward with allegations against Patterson, but police said they wanted to build their case before making an arrest.
Police said the victims were all drinking with Patterson, then woke up in his bed the next morning felling sick and with little to no memory of what happened the night before according to Local 6.
Police later did another search of his house in later May, saying at the time; 'We are continuing our efforts to examine a significant amount of evidence received from the initial executed warrant, as well as several leads on possible new cases as part of this ongoing investigation.'
Tactics: The police went door to door with flyers in Patterson's neighborhood hoping to get IDs
No luck: None of Patterson's neighbors were able to identify the women
Comment: Police will not say if these women have been the victims of sexual assault
Patterson has yet to be arrested or charged with any crimes but is still being investigated by police who think he may be responsible for a string of rapes in the area.
The videos that police seized were filmed between 2008 and 2013.
Police has tried everything they could to identify the women from going on Facebook and creating fake profile to handing out flyers in his neighborhood.
When that failed, they had no choice but to release the images to the public despite the fact that they are possible victims of sexual assault.
Patterson himself was the victim of an assault in 2009 when two men broke into his then girlfriend's home and robbed her before sexually assaulting her in from of Patterson.
