Its been more than nine years, but a DNA match with a Texas prisoner has led to an arrest in a Montgomery County rape case. <\/p>\n
David Martinez (Courtesy of Montgomery County police) David Martinez, 30, is facing rape, kidnapping and other charges in connection with the sexual assault of a 23-year-old woman in the Silver Spring area on March 3, 2003, according to Montgomery police. <\/p>\n
The young woman had parked her car in the 700 block of Lowander Lane and was walking home when a man pushed her down, choked her, sexually assaulted her, then drove her in the back seat of a vehicle to Montgomery Knolls Elementary School, where he raped her and fled, Montgomery police said. <\/p>\n
Montgomery authorities were told in July 2011 that a national DNA database linked Martinez to evidence from the rape scene, police said. Texas corrections officials said Martinez was serving a three-year sentence for injury to child before being transferred to Montgomery on June 14. A hearing is scheduled for July 13. <\/p>\n
Electronic court records do not indicate if Martinez has retained an attorney. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
