Peter Samuel Cook (17 August 1928 – 9 January 2004) was a British serial rapist who attacked women in Cambridge, England and so became known in the press as the Cambridge Rapist. He attacked women after breaking into their bedsits and flats. He was active between October 1974 and April 1975, and was also called the 'hooded rapist' because of a distinctive leather mask he wore whilst carrying out his crimes. The mask was reported to be "stitched from an old leather shopping bag. The zipper-mouthed mask had the word 'rapist' painted in white across the forehead".
