A Florida Keys man is facing charges after DNA linked him to the sexual battery of a woman in December, officials said.
Raul Morejon, 52, was arrested Thursday on sexual battery charges, Monroe County Sheriff's Office officials said. He was being held on $200,000 bond Friday and no attorney information was immediately available.
Authorities said Morejon's ex-wife had been out drinking with the 22-year-old victim and was at the home in Stock Island when the rape took place.
The ex-wife told detectives she was sleeping and was woken up by Morejon, who dragged her by the hair to a bedroom and demanded she "see what he had done," officials said.
Morejon's ex-wife said the victim was unconscious but the condition she was in and Morejon's comments led her to believe a sexual battery may have taken place, authorities said.
The victim later told detectives she remembered waking up at one point and finding a man on top of her with his face close to hers, officials said. She remembered he was wearing blue shorts, like the shorts Morejon was wearing at the time of his arrest, officials said.
DNA collected during the investigation was sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the DNA was later identified as coming from Morejon, officials said.
