The victim, who is now being treated "for significant moral and physical damage as a result of the rape", almost suffocated, since the attacker covered her mouth and grabbed her tightly by the neck.

The second attack occurred on July 16, after a home invasion, in a housing development in the same town, when the now jailed man harassed two young people in a bar and later followed them to their home, which he entered after climbing a wall. He entered the bedroom where a 17-year-old girl was, and covered her mouth, which did not prevent her from screaming and alerting her parents, who were also in the house, so the attacker quickly fled from the room. place.

The alleged attacker had no criminal record and was not known by the first victim, which made the investigation difficult, but after his second assault the agents were able to verify that it was the same perpetrator based on the method used and the analyzes carried out by specialized units.
