A 30-year-old Hispanic illegal immigrant has been charged with aggravated sexual assault, police say

Jesus Montes Valera is accused of raping a woman at knifepoint in his apartment. According to the police report, the attack occurred at Valera’s residence on the second floor of a two-family home. The victim was a woman in her 40s who knew Valera. After reporting the attack to police, she was taken to a local hospital for treatment for injuries. A warranted search of Valera’s home turned up evidence that corroborated the woman’s story, police say. Because of his immigration status, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement assisted police with the arrest and put Valera on retainer. Valera has been charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault. He is being held on $500,000 bond and has been taken to court for arraignment.
