Arrest in Washington Heights Sexual Assault

After showing surveillance images of a man who allegedly sexually attacked a woman for hours before robbing her, police have made an arrest. Emerson Deno, 32, was charged with rape, criminal sex act, burglary, robbery and unlawful imprisonment.

Deno followed the victim from the West 191st subway station to her apartment near West 190th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue around 5 p.m. last Friday. When she got to her apartment and started to unlock her door, he forced his way in.

The Daily News reports, "After she convinced him not to rape her, Deno forced the woman to perform oral sex on him for hours... He left about 4 a.m. Saturday with the victim's laptop." Deno has a prior arrest history, but not for sex crimes.

"Deno forced the woman to perform oral sex on him for hours..."

Of all the slutty ass women in this neighborhood, it takes some sad kinda skill to have to rape someone. Hell just go out at night and listen for the louder parties and there you go, free or cheap sex and on the upside you're all probably pretty drunk.

Are you not using the name out of respect for the victim? If so, please state instead of just jumping into using the pronoun.

Well pretty soon he'll get all the sex he'll ever need, this time with his anus being on the receiving end.
