Police arrested on Thursday a 19-year-old student who allegedly broke into the house of a neighbor in Chalan Kanoa and raped a girl.<\/p>\n
George Norris Langu Jr. was arrested for sexual assault in the first degree, burglary, and disturbing the peace.<\/p>\n
An ambulance brought the victim, 16, to the Commonwealth Health Center for further examination.<\/p>\n
At a hearing on Friday, Langu\u2019s bail was set at $40,000 cash. Preliminary hearing is on Sept. 15 at 9am.<\/p>\n
Assistant public defender Tillman Clark was appointed as counsel for Langu. Assistant attorney general Chester Hinds appeared for the government.<\/p>\n
Police said that two officers responded last Sept. 1 at 3:57am to a call about a sexual assault incident in Chalan Kanoa District 3.<\/p>\n
Two persons told the officers that their niece had been raped.<\/p>\n
The girl told police she was asleep inside her room when she was awakened by a man sexually assaulting her. The girl said she struggled and identified the person as their neighbor Langu.<\/p>\n
She shouted and grabbed Langu\u2019s shirt to prevent him from escaping. Langu, however, managed to run out of the house. She then told her aunt and grandmother about what happened.<\/p>\n
The aunt told police that Langu probably entered the house from the front door because it was unlocked as they had no light.<\/p>\n
Langu escaped through the window, the aunt said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
