A Columbus man who went to prison for sexually assaulting prostitutes is back behind bars.  Columbus police say Edwin Zimmerman was freed in June, but picked up a prostitute on New Year's Eve and drove to a secluded area and tried to rape her.  They say the woman escaped and gave Zimmerman's license plate number to police.  Zimmerman is charged with abduction.
