Police in Ecuador arrested a man suspected of raping 30 women and said he lured his victims with job offers.

Segundo Federico, 45, detained in the Ecuadoran capital Quito, posed as a middleman arranging work for the women, most of whom were in their 20s.

Authorities said he convinced his victims that he was taking them to meet a prospective employer, but instead took them to isolated areas where he sexually assaulted them.

Officials said Federico is a convicted rapist who in 2012 completed an 11-year prison sentence.

Police said they confiscated resumes, pepper spray and women's photos from his home.
