An illegal migrant has been arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl in his car in upstate New York.
Sakir Akkan, 21, allegedly forced the girl into his vehicle in Albany in the early hours of May 14 after threatening her with a metal pole, The Times Union reported, citing court documents.
Akkan, who hails from Turkey, then allegedly took the girl’s clothes off and raped her, the filing charges.
He was nabbed last week and charged with first-degree rape.
Court records show he has an address listed in Troy, NY, but he is not a US citizen.
The suspect was arrested and then released by US Border Patrol agents in November last year after crossing into California illegally.
Albany cops received an alert about his immigration status via an FBI database when he was fingerprinted in the wake of the alleged rape.
Akkan is currently being held without bail at the Albany County Jail.
He is set to face court again later Thursday.
