A 30-year-old man who investigators say sexually assaulted an 11-year-old Marco Island girl, threatening to kill her during the rape if she told anyone about the attack, was arrested Tuesday night.
Marco police arrested Hicham Rhazouani of of 1786 Dogwood Drive, Marco Island, and charged him with sexual battery of a person under 12, burglary while armed and burglary with assault or battery. He was in custody Wednesday night at the Collier County jail on $200,000 bond, sheriff's officials say.
Police say the rape happened April 9 in the 1000 block of San Marco Road. The name of the victim isn't being published because of the nature of the case.
Arrest reports give this account:
Around 2:45 a.m., the girl said Rhazouani came into her room quietly and awakened her. She said she was half asleep and Rhazouani was whispering to her.
She said she could feel a small knife, which fit into his hand, held to her throat. He'd taken it from his rear pants pocket.
Before he raped her, he asked her how old she was and if she were a virgin. When the girl told him that she'd never had sex, he said, "It won't hurt. I'll be gentle."
He then sexually assaulted her, asking her where she went to school. He kept talking to her, trying to keep her quiet and threatening her by telling her he'd come back and kill her if she told anyone about the rape.
During the police investigation that night, officers learned that a white car had been seen across the street from the house. A Collier sheriff's K-9 tracking dog had picked up a scent in that area, between the girl's house and a house across the street.
Rhazouani had been chased out of the girl's house by a man who lived in the house, but Rhazouani got away, heading toward where the white car was parked.
Police questioned the owner of the house across the street, who said she rented to two foreign exchange students, whom she described as being from Egypt. Police earlier had learned that the girl's attacker was a man with an acdcent.
Last week, police interviewed a friend of Rhazouani who said Rhazouani was often out late at night drinking and hanging out at local bars and also stayed up late on the Internet. The friend also remembered seeing police at the girls home and said Rhazouani was at his home that night.
The friend's description matched that of the one given by the girl and the man who chased the suspect. Police interviewed Rhazouani who said he was staying at the house that night, that he would help and said he was "shocked that this could happen."
On Monday, police showed a photo lineup to the girl and the man who chased her suspected attacker,. Separately, each chose Rhazouani.
On Tuesday, police interviewed Rhazouani who was read his Miranda rights but who decided to talk to investigators.
He said he couldn't have committed the crime because of his religious belief. He was then told that his photo had been picked by the victim.
He then asked to confront them and prove that he is innocent. He kept declaring his innocence and when he was told there were bodily fluids that could be used to determine if he was the attacker, he stopped talking.
Rhazouani, a citizen of Morocco, said he wanted the government to provide him with an attorney and ended the interview.
I'm sorry, you are incorrect.
We are concerned about the terrorist amongst us and I for one don't care if they ever get a trail.
Me either, what trail they take is their business. Oh, you mean trial! :-) The problem is that in your hysteria, if he doesn't have rights, neither do you.
If they are concerned about their rights, then I say they have 2 rights.
What you say people's rights are is irrelevant since you aren't in charge of passing out rights.
They right to return to the country from whence they came
Are you advocating turning this man loose to to return to his country without being charged with rape? I don't think that will be a very popular option on this thread.
the right to (die) as in dead.
So,,,,let an accused rapist go free as long as he goes out of this country,,,or,,,kill him without a trial? LOL, those are some logical choices!
While we are sitting around here trying to be PC, they are killing, raping, and plotting to destroy us and our PC country.
PC? What in the hell does that mean? That someone who demands the rule of law, which all free societies are built upon, is being politically correct? That is one of the most imbecilic comments I have ever seen.
Some of us are concerned for MFH's safety and haven't seen a post since last night. Maybe someone who knows someone may know if all is o.k.
I took the liberty of FRemailing LBGA this morning to get the picture of MFH removed from the Photo Album. Paranoid? Maybe. But there are some real bad people involved here. Doesn't hurt to be safe and cover all the bases.
No its not them that do not understand. It is some of us that don't get it. Just stop and think about what MFH has said. This guy is from a rich family. He is over here working, in a mediocre position. For what. Awaiting the American Jihad. The Marco Hilton is managed by these fanatics. And just think about it, they have set up shop all over our country, waiting for the word.
Last Monday a caller phoned in to Fox News responding to their question of the day. He responded by saying that there was thousands of them already here just waiting for the word, the word to destroy America. He said that the American people did not understand, and that we were still asleep. He said that America had to be destroyed and rebuild in their likeness.
For those that are hell bent on being concerned about the enemy's rights may God bless their souls, because they know not what they are doing.

May God bless their souls, indeed, because the god and people of Mohammed won't.
If you have not already done so, please contact your local police and district attorney to help them decide to revoke bail on this child rapist/terrorist wannabe (and maybe actual).
This unmentionable loathesome creature deserves much worse than the US Justice System will allow to be done to him. But if he is allowed to flee the country - whoever allows this deserves the fate he would have gotten had he remained here and fallen into the hands of Americans who are fed up with such sickos/terrorists.
But, as others have said, please be careful. Seriously. Report in as often as you can - and have someone checking with you and you with them several times every day.
Personally, I'd like to hang every one of them, and see them roast in the IMU pit, but I almost think that won't eliminate the problem. The more these Moslem women breed by the dozens, the greater the spread of this vile cancer.
Sure, off-ing them a quick defense, but if somehow we could get to their most precious source, i.e. money and finances....Dubya started with that last Sept, but it's not going far enough.
I guess the best thing we can do is keep our eyes WIDE open, just like MFH is doing. And bang the drum.
Has he posted today? Is he being interviewed by the authorities?
Anyone know?
Just contacted the Church and the lady that answered told me that someone else in the church was taken those calls and transferred me. I left a detailed voicemail and my number.
Haven't seen him. I know Spiff started pinging him at 10:00 this morning because he hadn't been on since 10:00 last night and a number have tried to get him as well. I suspect he's real busy right now but it would be nice if a fellow FReeper who knew him had some contact today. Especially given the nature of those involved.
If I do not respond to them...something is up.
I am however going to answer one question posed to me. The reason I never went to the authorities to begin with months and months ago is a two sided story. One I am not going too deep into here and was advised not to. But I DID contact media contacts about things at the Hilton and some of the situations that took place. Just not law enforcement. I have my personal reasons for not wanting to and I am leaving it at that. Freepers Seeking The Truth,Maccraze,and Wallace212 know why and can vouch. I made the right decision.
I will just say that things are definitely in motion and to look at the last big post I made last night. The 2nd article with the fire chief....then go from there.
Thanks to all of you again for thoughts,ideas,concerns, and prayers. I have put a plan into effect to protect all related to myself with the assitance of local authorities.
I'll call MFP tonight . Perhaps there is something I can do to assist .
