A Milwaukee County jury found a Racine man guilty of kidnapping a 79-year-old Franklin woman and various crimes against other women that earned him the moniker the “dating app predator.”

The jury deliberated for just under an hour on March 14 before reaching guilty verdicts against Timothy Olson.

The jury convicted him on five counts: felony kidnapping, two felony charges of burglary, one felony charge of using personal identifying information and one charge of misdemeanor obstruction.

Olson, 55, acted as his own lawyer and continuously sparred with Circuit Court Judge Kristy Yang since the trial got underway March 11.
