MAN ARRESTED FOR RAPE

A man was arrested Friday night and charged with the rape of a Virginia Beach woman earlier in the evening.

Leno Bacilio Martinez, 27, was being held without bail in the city jail on charges of forcible rape and abduction with intent to defile, police said.

While walking at about 9:30 p.m. in the 1200 block of Virginia Beach Boulevard, the victim was attacked by a man and dragged into a nearby wooded area. She was severely beaten and raped.

Virginia Beach Detective John Tosloskie saw a subject leaving the area on a bicycle shortly after the incident.

Tosloskie later arrested Martinez near the intersection of 21st Street and Pacific Avenue near the Oceanfront.
