MARIGOT--A 26-year-old man suspected of raping a 37-year-old woman in French Quarter on Saturday, January 30, has been transferred to Guadeloupe where he is being held in custody.
The woman alleged she had been raped in her own home, but had managed to escape and call for help. A Gendarmerie patrol was dispatched immediately and the presumed perpetrator was caught that same afternoon. Items allegedly stolen from the victim’s house were found in his possession. The investigation revealed that the man had served time in jail for similar offences committed on March 18, 2008.
