OKC Police Seek Rape Suspect, Release Sketch

Police are searching for an alleged rapist in the metro after a woman reported being kidnapped, forced to drink liquor, and then sexually assaulted last week.

Investigators are releasing a composite sketch of the suspect hoping to track down the possible predator. 

Police say a deaf woman was walking down SW 44th near Robinson, an area plagued with prostitution, when a black male in his mid-20's pulled up and demanded she get in his car. The woman tells police she replied I'm "not a prostitute." 

"When she refused he pointed a gun at her, at which she complied," explained OKC Police Master Sgt. Gary Knight.

The victim reports the suspect threatened to shoot her and when she got in to the car he "knocked her out". The suspect then allegedly drove from southwest Oklahoma City to a church more than 10 miles away in the 6700 block of NW 10th.

The woman says when they pulled in the man then strangled her, plugged her nose, and began pouring liquor in her mouth before raping her. Knight says witnesses later came forward.

"There were several people who have seen the two together, but her allegation is she was forced into the vehicle and then forced to have sex," said Knight.

Police say the suspect later kicked the victim out of his car and left her in the church parking lot. The woman walked to a nearby business to get help. She also told officers she couldn't remember, but thinks the suspect was driving a tan four-door Pontiac Grand Am.

Knight says if anyone has any information regarding this crime to call Crime Stoppers at (405) 235-7300

"We want to find this guy as soon as possible," said Knight.

Knight says callers can remain anonymous and could get a cash reward. The suspect is described as being 5' 6" tall with a medium build.
