A suspect in a rape case was captured Monday because an alert pedestrian saw a man dragging a weeping 15-year-old girl down the street by her neck, police said.
Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna, 26, was arrested near San Rafael High School as he tried to kidnap the girl using a broken bottle to threaten her, police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said.
Ek-Luna, a recent immigrant from Mexico who was staying in San Rafael, was booked on charges including rape, kidnapping and assault with a deadly weapon.

OK, someone just has to say it...doing the job that American men won't do... (and that IS sarcasm)
Kidnaping the young girls that Americans won't kidnap.
What is Bush thinking with his amnesty program?!
Girl, 15, raped on campus |
Gary Klien Marin Independent Journal |
A 15-year-old freshman at San Rafael High School was raped on campus after walking to school Monday morning, and a 26-year-old suspect was arrested a short time later when he was seen dragging the girl by her neck, police said. Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna, a San Rafael resident, was booked into Marin County Jail on suspicion of rape, assault, kidnapping, lewd and lascivious conduct with a 14- or 15-year-old child, damaging a wireless communications device and providing false identification to police. Bail was set at $750,000, and Ek-Luna was expected to appear in court this afternoon. The incident began around 8 a.m., when the girl, a freshman from the Canal Area, was walking to school alone on Third Street. The girl told police she remembered passing Ek-Luna at Third and Union streets on the way to school. As the girl turned on to campus, the suspect approached her from behind in the parking lot, held a broken bottle to her throat and took away her cell phone. Then he forced her into some bushes next to a school building and raped her, police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said. After the assault, he used the jagged bottle to force the girl off campus, saying he wanted to take her to a motel, Rohrbacher said. But a passing motorist, seeing the attacker dragging the girl by the neck on Francisco Boulevard East, called 911 at 8:43 a.m. Police arrived and found the pair on Francisco Boulevard East near Hoag Avenue. Ek-Luna was arrested and the girl was taken to Marin General Hospital, where she was treated and reunited with her family, Rohrbacher said. The case is still under investigation, but police said the incident appears to be a random attack and that the victim does not know Ek-Luna. "It doesn't look like he was stalking her," said San Rafael police Detective Harry Barbier. "It looks like a crime of opportunity." Although the girl was accosted on Third Street - in view of the parking lot, athletic fields and passing traffic - no one reported seeing the girl being forced into the bushes, Barbier said. Many students were still unaware of the incident by late Monday afternoon, but school principal Judith Colton advised parents in a letter posted on the school Web site and sent out on an email list. The letter will be distributed to students this morning, school district spokeswoman Leah Reich said. Laura Alvarenga, the San Rafael City Schools superintendent, said she did not know whether new security precautions would be implemented, but she said counselors will be available for students who need them. "We believe that this is a very sad incident and most unfortunate, and it was perpetrated by an outsider," Alvarenga said. "We will certainly make available a support system for the students." Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call San Rafael police at 485-3000. Police were still investigating Ek-Luna's background Monday and it was not clear how long he has been in San Rafael or whether he has a criminal record. Police said he is unemployed.

So much for the "hard working" immigrant just trying to better himself theory. |
One alert pedestrian noticed this? Were the rest of them comatose, or cheering the (illegal) immigrant on?
I think this piece of filth should be delivered to the Mexican Counsul office after her family got a good, solid twenty minutes with the guy. Human rights for illegals are all fine but this young woman has had her life ruined. Where is LULAC, La Raza, and Mecha bitching about her human rights????
"What is Bush thinking with his amnesty program?!"
What did the democrats think when they started this to get more votes??????????
Gee, would the American press ever be that disingenuous?
The teenager was attacked from behind at about 8 a.m. as she walked into the San Rafael High parking lot off Third Street, Rohrbacher said. Ek-Luna allegedly snatched her cell phone as she tried to call for help, held the broken end of a bottle to her neck and dragged her into bushes on the west end of campus, where he raped her, police said.
Why did they give him bail period.
I wish an alert pedestrian had given him two in the hat.
SAN RAFAEL (BCN)
A man charged with raping a 15-year-old, ninth-grade San Rafael High School girl on Monday did not enter pleas to the charges this morning and will be arraigned on March 1 in Marin County Superior Court, Assistant District Attorney Barry Borden said.
The Marin County Public Defender's office has been appointed to represent 26-year-old Jorge Alberto Ek-Luna. San Rafael police said he recently arrived from Mexico.
Ek-Luna is in the Marin County jail under both an Immigration and Naturalization Service hold and $760,000 bail. He has been charged with rape, assault, kidnapping, committing lewd and lascivious acts with a 14- or 15-year-old girl, damaging a wireless communication device, providing false identification to police and an enhancement alleging he is a sex offender with a prior strike, according to the county jail. He also faces a pending misdemeanor DUI charge.
San Rafael police said Ek-Luna approached the girl from behind around 8 a.m. Monday as she was walking to school alone on Third Street. He allegedly held a broken bottle to her throat, took away her cell phone, forced her into some bushes and raped her, police said.
Police spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said Ek-Luna then forced the girl to go with him, possibly toward a motel, but a passerby called police after he saw an older man dragging a girl with his arm around her neck. Ek-Luna was arrested near a car dealership on Francisco Boulevard and Hoag Avenue.
Woo-hoo! The taxpayers get to pay for his lawyer! Try him, hang him, dump his body at the border.
...held the broken end of a bottle to her neck and dragged her into bushes on the west end of campus, where he raped her, police said.
Sounds like gun control is working in SF
Legal immigrant?

I just read this in Post 15. This jerk should've been deported prior to this incident.
