Rapist Jailed
May 23, 2009 | Tags: Crime & Punishment | 13 Comments
The much talked about sexual offender in Playa Chiquita area has been arrested and is in jail. He was identified with bite marks and scratch marks after an attempted assault late at night along main road leading south of town. The victim managed to escape her attacker, but did require multiple stitches.
She remained in the area after the attack to identify the suspect. The suspect has been given 6 months preventative prison while awaiting trial. During that time, investigators will also attempt to get evidence linking him to previous assaults.
The recent arrest comes as a result of very active members in the business community who worked relentlessly and would not give up on making sure this person was apprehended. Local community members hope that this latest arrest results in a guilty verdict and this chapter is closed.
