Woman raped in San Pedro; suspect charged

A female tourist on vacation in San Pedro was reportedly raped as the young woman made her way back to her apartment. According to police, the victim told them that around eleven-thirty on Saturday night upon reaching the residence she saw a group of men drinking on the porch, who, she recognised as the persons who occupy the apartment next door. The woman told authorities that as she approached her front door one of the men approached her and asked if he could help her open it. But when he let her in, he entered behind her and locked the door, at which point he forced the woman to have sexual intercourse against her will. A subsequent investigation led police to this young man identified as twenty-three year old Aldermin Pott. Pott has been charged for rape and indecent assault.
