http://i40.tinypic.com/mawhh0.jpgA man, who authorities said broke into a woman's house, slipped on her bra and panties, hid in her closet then burst out and raped her, is behind bars.
Agapito Jimenez Baltazar, 23, who authorities said is in the country illegally, is in the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of sexual assault and burglary.
A judge denied him bond on Wednesday because of his immigration status.
Baltazar entered the woman's apartment and was hiding in her closet when she arrived home around 4:30 a.m. on Jan. 25.
When the women entered her home, she heard a noise in her closet and opened the door, authorities said.
There stood the suspect clad in her bra and panties. When she asked the man who he was, he grabbed her from behind, threw her on the bed, took off his clothes and raped her.
The woman managed to grab her phone, pressed the redial button and called her friend, who had just dropped her off. The suspect grabbed the phone and threw it.
The phone remained on and the friend heard the commotion and called 911.
When deputies arrived they also heard noise inside the home. The suspect then jumped from the third floor window and ran.
One month after pouring through several leases from the rental apartment and eliminating possible suspects, detectives arrested Baltazar.http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/sfl-022609-closetrapist,0,7373755.story
