Nearly 40 years after a woman was brutally sexually battered at knifepoint in Miami-Dade, one of the men allegedly responsible has been arrested.
Gustavo Rivero, 62, of Hialeah, was arrested Wednesday on one count of armed sexual battery, an arrest report said.
The arrest stems from the sexual battery of a woman on Jan. 9, 1985, when Rivero was 24 years old.

According to the report, the woman, who was 28 at the time and is now 65, had gone to a bar on Miami Beach where she met Rivero and another man.
The two invited the woman to go to a friend's house and she accepted, so they left in Rivero's car, the report said.
At one point, she asked them where they were going and they told her to shut up then pulled off the roadway on a dirt road, the report said.
