Teen Charged For Raping Jogger Had Similar Prior Charge
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Court documents say a teen accused of raping a female jogger in Yakima was charged with attempting to a rape a second woman earlier this year.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reported Thursday that charges against the 16-year-old for attempting to rape a woman in May were dropped because of lack of evidence.
The teen is not being named because he is a minor.
The teen has been charged for raping a 19-year-old jogger in November.
In the latest case against the teen, the jogger says she was attacked, choked and dragged a short distance before being sexually assaulted.
Prosecutors seek to have him tried as an adult.
A decision is expected to be made at a February hearing.
