Police track down rape victim using her cellphone’s GPS
BENSALEM (AP) – Police in Pennsylvania say they were able to find a rape victim using her cellphone’s GPS signal.
Bensalem police say they received 911 texts Saturday from a woman claiming she’d been sexually assaulted.
She texted that she was trapped in a bedroom and couldn’t escape.
Officers used her cellphone’s GPS to lead them to her. Police say the woman had been punched in the head and choked, and her attacker used a steak knife to threaten her and force her to perform sexual acts.
Police say 23-year-old Christopher Henneghan was taken into custody and faces a number of charges including rape, indecent assault and unlawful imprisonment.
He was arraigned and sent to county jail with bail set at $10 million.
