STORY REMOVED: US--Rapist's Home-Bodies

(AP)

The Associated Press has withdrawn its story about a sex offender who lived in a Cleveland house where several corpses were found. Authorities say that despite a police news release that described Anthony Sowell as a convicted rapist, he was convicted only of attempted rape. The story will be refiled as CLEVELAND-BODIES FOUND.

Cleveland police search the porch at the home of Anthony Sowell, where bodies have been discovered Friday, Oct. 30, 2009 in Cleveland. Police in Cleveland say officers who went to a home looking for a rape suspect found two decomposing bodies upstairs and what appeared to be a freshly dug grave in the basement.
