    Illegal Alien serial rapist

    Police accuse man of being serial rapist
    Illegal immigrant charged in attacks spanning nearly 2 years

    An illegal immigrant who was about to be deported has been charged with raping three Charlotte women in a series of attacks that left police frustrated and female joggers leery for nearly two years.
    Jose C. Rivera, 26, was in Atlanta awaiting deportation when the rape charges were filed Friday. The charges will stop the deportation proceedings.

    Rivera is accused of attacking three women in different parts of Charlotte between April 2004 and Sept. 2005. Police say he talked his way into a victim's home, attacked another in the common area outside her apartment, and then, wearing only red underwear, grabbed a jogger who was running alone.

    A month after that rape, in October 2005, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced that they had evidence connecting the three rapes, but had been unable to identify the attacker. They used DNA to link the cases.

    It's unclear what evidence detectives now have to connect Rivera to the attacks. But last year, he was convicted of receiving a stolen vehicle. As a felon, he would have been required to surrender a DNA sample.

    Charlotte-Mecklenburg police would not comment on details of the case Monday. Spokeswoman Julie Hill said detectives had not interviewed Rivera and fear the publicity could jeopardize their investigation. The warrants, however, are public record.

    As Mecklenburg's immigrant community has grown in recent years, illegal immigration has become a controversial topic. Since last spring, the Mecklenburg sheriff has been working to identify illegal immigrants among jail inmates and get them deported.

    Records show Rivera, who's from Honduras, has been jailed in Mecklenburg County at least eight times since 2004. In November 2006, he was deported, a spokesman with Immigration and Customs Enforcement said.

    Most recently, Rivera spent five weeks in the Mecklenburg jail on breaking and entering charges.

    Because he was not charged with a violent felony and was about to be released, the sheriff turned him over to immigration officials Thursday, sheriff's spokeswoman Julia Rush said.

    Rapes by strangers are uncommon in Charlotte-Mecklenburg and across the country -- and more difficult to solve than acquaintance rapes. Nationally, about seven of 10 women who report sexual assaults know their attacker. Each of the women Rivera is accused of raping was attacked in the morning by a man with a weapon.

    The first was April 2, 2004. A 32-year-old woman told police a stranger talked his way into her apartment on Roseview Lane off Eastway Drive around 10:45 a.m. Once inside he pulled out a handgun and raped her. Police would not say what the man said to get in the door.

    On Feb. 19, 2005, a 41-year-old woman told police a man overpowered her outside apartments on Woodway Hills Drive off Independence Boulevard around 4:30 a.m. He forced her to perform oral sex on him and raped her. The man used a sharp instrument as a weapon.

    Then, on Sept. 25, 2005, a female jogger told police a man grabbed her and threatened her with a screwdriver as she ran along East Boulevard in Dilworth around 7 a.m. The woman said the man pulled her behind a building near Springdale Avenue and raped her. He was wearing only red underwear, and a white cloth covered much of his face.

    Last January, police said the serial rapist may have attempted to strike again, after a 41-year-old woman in Myers Park fought off a man with Tae Bo, a type of kick-boxing exercise.

    The woman told police she was walking alone when he came up behind her and reached his hands between her legs to try to pick her up.

    She screamed and kicked the man, who fled without physically injuring her.

    That woman's description of her attacker closely matched the description given by the woman attacked in Myers Park, police said. Rivera has not been charged in that case.

    In 2005, police interviewed three victims and released this description: The suspect is a 5-foot, 7-inch Latino man, between 25 and 30 years old, with a slim build. He has short black hair and a very short, neatly trimmed beard and mustache. One victim first described him as Middle Eastern.

    THE CHARGES

    Rivera faces 16 charges in the three attacks. Fourteen are felonies. The charges are:

    • Five counts of kidnapping.

    • Four counts of rape.

    • Three counts of sexual battery.

    • Two counts of sex offense.

    • One count each of robbery with a dangerous weapon and breaking and entering.

    HIS RECORD

    Records show Rivera has been jailed in Mecklenburg County at least eight times since 2004.

    I agree but first put him in a cell with a bunch of big guys who can "give him a taste of his own medicine" Then grind him!

    Suspected Serial Rapist Was In And Out Of Mecklenburg County Jail

    POSTED: 4:33 pm EDT July 31, 2007
    UPDATED: 6:17 pm EDT July 31, 2007


    CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Police aren't saying much about Jose Rivera, the illegal immigrant accused of raping at least three Charlotte women. In fact, they haven’t even had a chance to interview him since he’s been in Atlanta where he was about to be deported.

    But what they will admit is at the same time police believe Rivera was raping women in east Charlotte and Dilworth, [he was also in and out of jail and courtrooms at least eight times for crimes that included possession of stolen goods and giving false information to a police officer.

    The biggest break in the investigation of the series of rapes may have come one year ago when Rivera was convicted on a stolen car charge and a judge ordered him to give a DNA sample to the state lab. It’s that sample that police believe matches up with evidence in the three rapes.

    The following timeline shows Rivera’s history with the Mecklenburg County jail:


    In September 2004, five months after a woman was raped in her east Charlotte apartment, Rivera was arrested on charges of giving an officer false information. He was released from jail the next day.



    Four months later, in January 2005, Rivera was in jail again, this time for 9 days. Just two weeks after his release, a second woman was raped in east Charlotte.



    Then came a string of three more arrests in June and July. Each time Rivera was in and out of jail on bond in a matter of days.



    In September 2005, just two weeks after being convicted of having a stolen car, police believe Rivera raped again -- this time attacking a woman jogging along East Boulevard.



    At that point rape detectives had connected the rapes and knew they were after a single man, but Rivera wasn't yet on their radar. Because he'd never given a DNA sample, he wasn't in the state's DNA database. That changed when on July 31, 2006, he pled guilty to possessing a stolen car.

    Rivera didn’t go to prison, but he did have to give a blood sample to the State Bureau of Investigation before being deported in November 2006. It took almost a year, though, for that sample to be tested for DNA.

    Last Friday detectives were notified that Rivera's DNA matched evidence left at the seen of three rapes, but he had almost gotten away again. Just a few weeks ago he was arrested on breaking and entering charges and the sheriff’s department, using a national database, discovered he was an illegal immigrant who had already been deported once before. He was sent to Atlanta for deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Rivera’s deportation has been put on hold after police in Charlotte quickly sought warrants in light of the DNA match. They are now trying to get him back to the Queen City to face the rape charges.
