Lee was dubbed the “Bad Breath Rapist” after the media learned one of the pieces of evidence that established Lee as the assailant was his foul breath.
Oh media, you're such cards, coming up with fun nicknames for rapists.
How about just calling him a rapist and not giving him any sort of notoriety beyond that?
This one feels especially cheeky which is fine for like someone who steals from stores or something.
Yeah, Bad Breath Bandit? I'm cool with that.

They could smell his bad breath.
All this scumbag had to do was snack down some cinnamon-sparkle Crest™ toothpaste with whitening 2 hours a day, everyday, for the rest of his life. He couldn't hack it, and now hes going to suffer all kinds of other oral hazards as a result.
Insert joke about waiting with bated breath.
One key point that isn't mentioned in the article but is said in the video is that he assaulted one of his employees while wearing a ski mask, and the victim was able to identify him because of his breath.
It took so long because victims described the halitosis so our bright "boys in blue" were focused on finding a foot fetishist.
