Authorities in Washington are searching for a convicted rapist who they believe attacked a wheelchair-bound woman just three days after getting out of jail for raping her previously.
Francisco Carranza-Ramirez, 35, was released from jail last Thursday after serving less than a year for raping the unidentified White Center woman on two separate occasions.
According to Fox News, a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said in an email that Carranza-Ramirez was charged with rape in the 3rd degree in October and pleaded guilty in February.
Ramirez was released on Thursday, and by Saturday he tracked down the 32-year-old woman he previously terrorized. Authorities say he approached the woman the following day and allegedly assaulted her. The woman, who is partially paralyzed, suffered cuts and bruises, a seizure and a concussion after authorities say she was strangled and struck in the head, the Seattle Times reported.
The victim met Carranza-Ramirez in September when he was said to have offered the woman and her 2-year-old son a ride home after meeting them earlier that day. He eventually worked his way into her apartment, where he raped her, the newspaper said.
Two days later, he returned to her apartment and raped her again.
