A Massachusetts man wanted for child rape and other charges is accused in half a dozen sexual assaults since police said he fled last month.
Gregory Lewis of Southbridge is now believed to be targeting escort services, according to the Massachusetts State Police.
In a surveillance photo from Saturday, Lewis is seen in an Indianapolis hotel, where police believe he committed a robbery. He was then seen in Columbus, Ohio, Sunday night.
Police believe Lewis is heading east.
The suspect was initially arrested in Massachusetts back in August for statutory rape of a child under 14, ordered to stay under house arrest.
Since cutting his GPS ankle bracelet and fleeing the state on Sept. 15, police say, Lewis is suspected of committing six or more sexual assaults in different states.
Ten days after he allegedly fled, police say Lewis returned to Massachusetts, broke into his stepfather's home, tied him up and stole a gun.

Police in Denver announced earlier Sunday that Lewis was wanted in Colorado for sexual assault, kidnapping and arggravated robbery.
Officials in North Carolina said they believe Lewis kidnapped, robbed and assaulted a woman in Charlotte on Sept. 23.
Lewis is believed to have been in Denver earlier this month. Police say he was in Portland, Oregon, around Oct. 13. The next day, officials say he was in Boise, Idaho. On Oct. 17, according to police, he was in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The suspect is described as a white male, 6'2", around 240 to 270 lbs, with brown hair and eyes. He has a tattoo on his chest of a hand holding a knife with a broken handcuff. Another tattoo from his left shoulder to his elbow is of a demonic female with colored eyes.
He may or may not have facial hair, as recent photos have depicted him both with and without it.
Lewis is believed to be traveling in the same blue 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, with the Massachusetts registration "85GF63." The SUV has fog lights and alloy rims.
Police say that the vehicle had stolen Idaho plates at one point, but those plates may have been replaced.
Law enforcement agencies have been told to be on the lookout for Lewis.
Lewis should be considered armed and dangerous. Police warn the public not to approach him and to call 911 immediately.
A $2,000 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest.
