Selwyn Worrell, 24, lives next to the victim and is charged with rape, sexually motivated assault, and burglary.
Authorities say Worrell knocked on his neighbor’s door, which she opened after recognizing him.
He reportedly told her, “I just want to cut through here,” which police believe was a ruse to access her home.
Once inside, police say he punched her in the face, grabbed her by the neck and dragged her to the basement. He is accused of tying her hands with an electrical cord and sexually assaulting her.
He then fled the scene but was arrested nearby.
