Evidence returned from a state laboratory helped Houston County Sheriff’s investigators make an arrest in a nearly three-year-old child rape case.
Sheriff Andy Hughes confirmed that deputies arrested Alvaro Rayo Roblero, 31, of Gilley Road, Dothan, on Monday, and charged him with felony first-degree rape.
Court records indicate investigators charged Roblero with the rape of a 15-year-old Slocomb girl by force on June 22, 2008. Records indicate the victim was taken to Flowers Hospital for treatment after the sexual assault.
Investigator Rose Shirley said the arrest was made after investigators recently received information from the state Department of Forensic Sciences that helped them match Roblero to the case.
Roblero was taken to the Houston County Jail and held on a $60,000 bond. If convicted of the class A felony crime of first-degree rape, Roblero faces 10 to 99 years or life in prison.
Hughes said a hold has been placed on Roblero at the Houston County Jail by agents with the U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) because he’s a suspected illegal alien.
