(Columbus, OH)--He raped 12 women on both sides of the state line in the 1990’s, and, this week, he’s up for parole.  Steven Barker is now 61 years old.  Either Tuesday or Wednesday, he will go in front of an Ohio parole board.  He had accepted a plea deal in Ohio in which he was sentenced to 135 years.  But, even if he’s paroled in Ohio, he’ll go straight to an Indiana jail cell for rapes in Wayne County.  Barker preyed mostly on elderly women who lived alone.  After he was caught, he and a cell mate escaped from the Preble County Jail in 1994.   He was captured in Houston six months later and has been behind bars ever since.
