WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) - A man charged with sexually assaulting a woman at a public housing complex has been returned to Rhode Island after being arrested in Massachusetts.
Reynaldo Rios of Boston is accused of raping the woman at gunpoint in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, last week. He was arrested Wednesday in Brockton, Massachusetts.
Woonsocket police say Rios waived extradition Thursday in Brockton District Court. He was brought to the Woonsocket Police Department and is detained pending a court arraignment set for Friday in Providence.
The victim told police she agreed to meet the 36-year-old Rios after talking with him on a phone app for a few days. Police say Rios raped her at gunpoint and threatened to kill her.
Rios’ response to the allegations isn’t known. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer.
