Two suburban DC men arrested for rape in separate incidents

Two men were arrested in Montgomonery County for two unrelated rapes which occured in the suburban Washington, DC jurisdiction. According to police, both women knew their attackers.

On Thursday, police arrested a man who they say broke into a Montgomery Village woman's home through a window early Wednesday and attacked her in the bedroom. Luis Antonio Onton-Almidon, 27, of Montgomery Village was charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree rape.

Onton-Almidon had been at the victim's house Tuesday night for a birthday party, police said.
On Wednesday, police arrested a man who they said sexually assaulted a woman after the two returned to his house from a nightclub. Moumouni Souna Salifou, 37, of Gaithersburg was charged with second-degree rape, police said. According to the police statement, a Springfield woman who apparently awoke in his home said someone had "taken advantage of her while she was sleeping."


Both men are being held in the Montgomery County Detention Center. Salifou is being held on $10,000 bond, and Onton-Almidon is being held on $150,000 bond.
