On Monday, Hamden police arrested Marcelo Munoz-Cervantes, 29, who reportedly sexually assaulted and beat a woman in her home last month.

WFSB reported:

According to police, an unidentified woman had fallen asleep in her bedroom at home on Linden Avenue on April 14. When she awoke, there was a man, who would later be identified as 29-year-old Marcelo Munoz-Cervantes of New Haven.

Police said Munoz-Cervantes sexually assaulted and strangled the womanwhile she screamed for help. He punched her several times in the face, threatened to kill her and choked her five times, investigators said.

The young woman who has only been identified as a Quinnipiac University student, was transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital following the attack. She suffered a broken rib and other injuries to her back, neck and shoulder.

Despite his illegal status, Munoz-Cervantes worked for the victim's landlord and was very familiar with the property.
Munoz-Cervantes has been charged with first-degree sexual assault, home invasion, burglary in the first degree, assault in the second degree and strangulation in the second degree. He is being held without bond on an immigration detainer.

The Mexican national is scheduled to appear in Meriden Superior Court on May 31.

Of course, this is only the latest example of another child falling victim to our unprotected border with Mexico...
