SHERIFF
Rape: Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a man named “Gabriel” who allegedly raped and abandoned an area woman early Sunday morning in the parking lot of a Chevron gas station near Casa de Fruta on Pacheco Pass Highway.
Deputies described the incident as a “date rape.” Gabriel (last name unknown) and the woman were reportedly friends and had just been visiting her relatives in San Jose, deputies said. On the drive home, at 1:50 a.m., Gabriel pulled over at the gas station on Highhway 152 and tried to initiate sex, the woman told deputies. She told him she didn’t want to, but he said he’d beat her up if she did not comply, she claimed.
After Gabriel had sexual intercourse with her against her will, she ran away, she said. He reportedly drove away in an unknown direction in the vehicle, which was his.
Gabriel is described as being Hispanic, about 5 feet 10 inches and 165 pounds.
Attack: Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a man who allegedly attacked a 15-year-old San Martin boy and had oral sex with him while he was unconscious.
The attack and sexual act took place at about 11:15 p.m. Sept. 18 near the corner of Monterey Highway and California Avenue in San Martin, the boy told police, but he waited to report the incident until 4 p.m. Sunday.
The victim was walking home from the bus stop when he was struck hard from behind by a person and knocked unconscious, according to police. He reportedly woke to find himself being sexually attacked by by a man he described as about 35 years old, Hispanic, about 5 feet 10 inches tall and about 200 pounds, wearing a white tank top and blue or black jeans. The man had a smell of alcohol about him, the boy told police.
The man reportedly walked away as the victim was regaining consciousness. Police say he faces felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon and oral copulation.
