Illegal Immigrant With Extensive Criminal History Arrested For Attempted Rape

An illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal background was arrested for attempting to kidnap and rape a stranger he captured on a popular Virginia trail days after being released from jail, according to police.

During a press conference Monday evening, the Herndon Police Department announced that Denis Humberto Naverrette Romero, 31, was charged with abduction with intent to defile and rape a stranger he grabbed off a trail.

“Let me start by saying that I am incredibly saddened and outraged that a crime like this could happen here in the town of Herndon,” said Herndon Police Chief Maggie DeBoard.

“This is the only stranger rape that we have had in the town in my more than 12 years as chief of police,” DeBoard continued.

A source close to the matter told Fox News Digital that Romero is homeless and has been in and out of jail, but never served any significant time. He has also had multiple charges dropped to lower offenses by prosecutors, the source explained.

Romero’s crimes have escalated from weapons and auto theft, to indecent exposure and sexual assault, to now abduction and rape.
