(AP) - A man wanted in a violent rape in northeastern Pennsylvania has been captured in Iowa.
The U.S. Marshals Service arrested 27-year-old Nery Adolfo Perez-Duarte in Cedar Rapids on Thursday.
U.S. Marshal Michael Regan says Perez-Duarte is accused of raping a Meshoppen woman on Dec. 27.
The victim was beaten, raped, thrown down a set of stairs and pulled back up the stairs by her hair. She suffered a broken leg, bloody mouth and black eye in the attack.
Perez-Duarte, a native of Guatemala, awaits extradition to Pennsylvania to face charges.
It's not clear whether he has a lawyer.
