RALEIGH -- A 29-year-old man charged by police Tuesday with repeatedly raping a child may be in this country illegally, authorities reported.
Cloe Amalex Martinez-Ochoa, of 3204 Crandon Lane, Apt. A, has been charged with five counts of first-degree rape of a child, according to arrest warrants. He is in custody at the Wake County jail, bail set at $3 million, court records show.
U.S. immigration officials placed a retainer on Martinez-Ochoa soon after his arrest, a jail spokeswoman reported late Tuesday afternoon. That means he could be deported after he has been prosecuted on the sex offenses.
