Cell Phone Helps Bust Rapist

2009_02_cellphone2.jpg A man who allegedly raped a woman leaving a West 28th Street club early Saturday morning was arrested by police. And the rape victim helped cops nab her attacker because he dropped his cell phone. According to the Post, Jonathan Salva "admitted to robbing, choking and punching the woman but denied raping her." He allegedly told cops, "I saw the girl walking... She was beautiful," before dragging her behind a dumpster and assaulting her. The Daily News reports, "In the struggle, Salva dropped his cell phone. The victim spotted it and gave it to cops," and the Post adds that Salva used his home address and old cell phone number when trying to get a new one. He is being held on $250,000 bail.
