TX: Illegal charged in sexual assault of 72-year-old woman
More news from Sanctuary City, Texas....

A 28-year-old undocumented immigrant will appear in court Monday to face a charge that he raped a 72-year-old woman while burglarizing her north Harris County home earlier this week, officials with the sheriff's department said.
The woman was repairing a chair about 3 p.m. when David William Ponce-Rivera of Mexico surprised her, dragged her into a hallway and raped her, said Lt. Ruben Diaz of the sheriff's department interpersonal violence division.
Ponce-Rivera was living temporarily next door to the woman's home in what the sheriff's department believe was a drop-off for Mexican coyotes - those who specialize in arranging transportation for undocumented immigrants, Diaz said.
The home next to the home where the woman lived by herself also serves as a makeshift warehouse for construction material.
Undocumented immigrants dropped off by coyotes usually stay there for short periods before finding construction jobs and moving into apartments, he said.
``She had seen him trying to get into her house the day before, but she didn't call police,'' Diaz said.
Ponce-Rivera was charged with burglary of a residence with intent to commit another felony, sexual assault. He wasn't charged with aggravated sexual assault because burglary of a residence with intent to commit another felony is easier to prove and can lead to equally long sentence, Diaz said.
``It was the middle of the day, and she was out on the patio repairing a chair,'' Diaz said. ``When she went in to get a tool, he was already inside her home.''
Ponce-Rivera forced her into a hallway, took her clothes off and raped her on the floor, Diaz said.
The woman was treated and discharged from the hospital. DNA evidence will form part of the case against Ponce-Rivera, Diaz said.
Detectives searched the coyote drop-off home Wednesday after the victim told them that her assailant was staying there. They didn't find Ponce-Rivera.
During a second search about 9 p.m. Wednesday, Ponce-Rivera was found hiding underneath a mattress, Diaz said.
The woman, he said, identified him out of a photo line-up.
``She picked him out straight off,'' he said. ``She identified him right off the bat.''
Ponce-Rivera was being held with no opportunity to post a bond.

HOUSTON -- The suspect in a 72-year-old cancer patient's sexual assault appeared in court on Friday morning.
David Ponce-Rivera, 27, was charged with first degree burglary with the intent to commit sex assault.
Police say Rivera sexually assaulted his elderly neighbor on June 18 as she returned indoors from working in her garden. Court documents say the woman tried to fight Rivera off with a pair of pliers.
Later in the day, police found Rivera hiding under a blanket in a bedroom in his residence. He was arrested and positively identified from a photo line-up.
Court records show Rivera is an illegal immigrant who lived right next door to the victim. If convicted, he faces five to 99 years in prison.
