Authorities in Washington state were searching for a man they say attacked a woman just days after he was released from jail for raping her.
Francisco, 35, was released from jail last Thursday after serving less than a year for raping the same woman, who lives in the White Center area. According to Fox News, a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said he was charged with third degree rape in October and pleaded guilty in February.
Authorities say that by Saturday he had tracked down the woman. They say he approached her the next day and allegedly assaulted her. The Seattle Times reported that she suffered cuts, bruises, a seizure and a concussion, and that authorities say she was strangled and struck in the head.
Francisco has not been convicted of the new allegations. The woman has not been identified publicly. The case is a reminder of how important victim protection is after a release, and we will update this story if there is an arrest.
