Two of the rapes were reported on Saturday, said Capt. James Bauman of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.
Bauman said the two rapes – one in Middletown, one in Kelseyville – were reported within an hour of each other by women from Hidden Valley Lake, and both incidents were alleged to have occurred on Friday.
In the first case, a 25-year-old woman went to Twin Pine Casino where she met with her family and friends and had some drinks.
The woman woke up the next day at home to find she was missing her underwear. Bauman said it's believed that a male subject who is an acquaintance of the woman, and who was seen at the casino that night, had sex with her while she was under the influence of alcohol.
In the second case, Bauman said deputies responded to Sutter Lakeside Hospital on Saturday night.
There they found an 18-year-old woman who reported she had been raped the previous night in Kelseyville. Bauman had few other details, as the report still is being written in that case.
A third rape was reported to have taken place Saturday night in Lakeport, according to Lt. Brad Rasmussen of Lakeport Police.
Rasmussen said an 18-year-old Lakeport woman attended a concert at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Martin Street Saturday night.
At the event she met a security guard who let her in for free, Rasmussen said.
The two exchange phone numbers, and Rasmussen said later that night the guard sent her a text message and got her outside of the concert.
There the male subject asked the woman for sex. When the woman refused, the male physically assaulted her, Rasmussen said. The rape was reported early Sunday morning.
Rasmussen said police have received forensic evidence in the case and are still investigating.
