A woman reported at the Sheriff’s Valley Station in Alamo last week that she had been raped.
She reported at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 12, that a male suspect – whom she had known – raped her in a car parked on a side street, said Jimmy Lee, spokesman for the Sheriff’s Office.
“They knew each other,” Lee said. “This is not a random-type act. We are still trying to get to the bottom of this.”
Apparently, the man drove the woman in a car on Interstate 680 and exited off the freeway, eventually parking on a side street. Lee said the man then committed the sexual act inside the car.
The woman, who lives in Contra Costa County, went to the police the next day in Alamo.
“She is doing fine in light of the circumstances,” Lee said.
Lee said the victim does not know exactly where she was raped, but it was somewhere in the county.
“We have not been able to determine where it happened,” Lee said. “It’s still in the early stages in trying to gather all the facts. We have not been able to establish an exact location. Detectives are following up on this.”
Lee said there are commonalities in many rape incidents.
“A lot of the victims know the suspects,” he said.
