00:00Sexual battery of an individual is without a doubt one of the most horrific crimes that occurs.
00:06And a violent, out-of-control sexual battery on a stranger even elevates that one more level.
00:16And then you take on top of that that the suspect is in this country illegally.
00:23That pushes it over the top.
00:25Let me introduce you to Axel Herrera.
00:28He's 24.
00:29He's here illegally from Honduras.
00:33Late at night, while a 77-year-old victim is asleep in her bed, she hears a noise.
00:41She wakes up to see a silhouette in her living room.
00:44And the next thing you know, he pounces on her on the bed and begins to sexually batter her.
00:52He attacks her.
00:54He drags her around the room by her hands and feet.
00:57She fights him off.
01:00He digitally penetrates her and injures her.
01:05And she fights him off.
01:08He is graphically very vile and out-of-control.
01:13She runs outside nude, screaming for help.
01:17He drags her back into the house.
01:20And then, after the sexual battery event ends, he flees the residence.
01:26We took him into custody.
01:29She identified him from a photo pack.
01:33In addition to that, he had scratches all over his body where she fought back to get away from him.
01:40He was a young man, 24 years of age, sexually battering a 77-year-old woman
01:48after he broke into her house in the middle of the night.
