Mpls. Man Facing Charges In Rape Of 10-Year-Old Girl In NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — The NYPD says a 24-year-old Minnesota man has been arrested in connection with the rape of a 10-year-old girl in Brooklyn.

Police say Edwin Caizaguano, of Minneapolis, faces multiple charges including rape, predatory sexual assault against a child and sexual misconduct.

He was apprehended on Tuesday in Saint Paul, Minnesota, by the NYPD's Fugitive Apprehension Team.

Police say the alleged crime occurred last October inside a Brooklyn residence. The victim is recovering but required surgery after the alleged assault.

The suspect also is known as Patricio Caizaguano.

It wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer who could comment on the charges.
