(Columbus, OH)--The man who raped and attacked a dozen women on both sides of the state line in the 1990’s has been denied parole.  The Ohio Parole Board has unanimously denied the parole of Steven Barker.  In its decision, the Board said that Barker was likely to commit more crimes.  Barker was not going to walk free regardless of the Board’s decision.  Even if he would have been paroled in Ohio, he would have gone straight to prison in Indiana for his Wayne County crimes.  Barker won’t be up for parole again for another ten years.  By then, he’ll be 71 years old.
