The man was being sought in connection with the rape of another victim in February and police believe he may have sexually assaulted other women.

The woman, who is ten weeks pregnant, told police she was in her bedroom at around 1.30 pm last Friday when the man came in and asked for $10. When she told him she did not have any money hedemanded that she have sexual intercourse with him but she refused. He overpowered and sexually assaulted her.

Arouca police got a warrant for the man’s arrest, but could not find him despite searching over the weekend.
