Jakhongir Sattorov, 38, was charged on Saturday, May 9, with three counts of r@pe, two counts of ass@ult, criminal obstruction of breathing, and criminal mischief after he allegedly forced his way into the victim’s apartment in Bensonhurst on Friday evening and demanded sex, according to the New York Police Department.

Sources added that the suspect has at least seven prior arrests, all related to drug possession.
Police officers and investigators were seen around the scene on Saturday, with NYPD crime scene personnel, detectives, and members of the Special Victims Squad photographed leaving the apartment carrying multiple evidence bags.
