Police: Rape suspect caught after returning to victim's home

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A woman helped capture the man suspected of raping her after police say he returned to the victim's home the night after the assault.

St. Petersburg Police say 26-year-old Charles Coger entered the woman's home on Friday at 2 a.m., through an unlocked back door and then went into her bedroom.

That triggered an alarm, waking the victim, according to Coger's arrest affidavit. She told him to leave, but  he grabbed the back of her neck and rolled her onto her stomach, the report states.

He told her he would hurt her if she didn't comply with his sexual demands, according to the affidavit. Fearing for her safety, and for that of a child in the home, she complied, the affidavits say.

Police say Coger returned to the woman's home the following night. However this time the woman and a friend held onto him until police arrived, according to Coger's arrest report.

Cogerger, whose been arrested 10 times since 2006, is charged with sexual battery and burglary. He also had an outstanding warrant after he failed to appear for a sentencing after he pleaded no contest in February to a charge of loitering and prowling.

Bail was set at $122,513, jail records show.
