A television movie in which a rapist is falsely accused of rape (Solved)


In this television movie, which might be from the nineties, a rapist moves into a neighborhood. Shortly after that, a local woman is raped and the man is arrested, but he is not the assailant. He tells the police, who show him a video of the crying victim, that on the night of the crime he has only gone out to get gasoline, which is true. No one believes the newcomer because of his history. In one scene, a mother of a small boy sees her son on the street near the rapist and tells her child to go into their house. She then walks to her neighbor, points to him, and says "I know who you are. You're a rapist." I have never seen the whole movie, so can't give any more details.

Could be:
Sketch Artist II: Hands That See (1995)

or maybe:
A Case of Rape (1974)

Thank you, wositelec. The movie is not either of those, but both sound worthy of watching. I'm especially curious about a blind woman giving details to a sketch artist. Even if she feels certain shapes on her rapist, she has no way of knowing how tall he is or which colors his features are.

'Even if she feels certain shapes on her rapist, she has no way of knowing how tall he is or which colors his features are.'

And no way of knowing how accurate the finished sketch is!

Hmm, maybe this?
The Stranger Beside Me (1995)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114559/?ref_=kw_li_tt

That isn't it either, but thank you for trying to help again. The movie that you have presented is based on Ted Bundy, and the one that I'm looking for is about a fictional man. The character is not a serial rapist. He has one count of rape on his record and been in prison for it.

I will to try other guess.

I didn't watch this, but maybe "The Secret She Carried" (1996) ?
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117586/

TV movies with this thread is very, very big amount, so it will be tough to find.

Even though my question has been answered, I want to mention that I have said something incorrect about the main character in the movie. He is a serial rapist. I haven't seen the whole film until today. Thank you for looking, anyway.
