An illegal immigrant is accused of violently sexually assaulting an Uber driver in Miami, causing her to collide with another vehicle and slam into a concrete wall, The Daily Wire has learned.
Oscar Ernesto Sanchez-Aguire, who hails from El Salvador, snuck across the border undetected, the Department of Homeland Security told The Daily Wire. Last month, authorities finally learned about him after he allegedly violently groped the ride-share driver.
The unidentified victim said Sanchez-Aguire, 26, told her to turn down a dark street before he covered her mouth and began attacking her, according to Local 10.
The woman was left with bruising to her chest, scratches to her neck and scrapes to her mouth, according to the local news outlet.
“In that moment, I panicked and lost control of the car and crashed,” she said.
The woman crashed into another car, causing it to hit the wall of a church. Her vehicle then hit the concrete wall of a storage facility.
Sanchez-Aguire then allegedly jumped out of the car and began running, but was later nabbed.
A witness, Candela Navarro, reported seeing the Uber driver “trapped inside the car,” which “was completely destroyed,” according to 7News.
“She was, like, stuck inside of the car and in a state of shock that you can’t even imagine, so I immediately – the deal was to get close to the car and, like, tell her I’m going to help her. Like, I don’t care if the car maybe can explode or whatever, because the car was a mess,” Navarro said.
“What she immediately [said] was, ‘He tried to rape me, he tried to rape me, he tried to touch me, abuse me,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, my God,'” the witness said.
“This is yet another example of how years of open border policies have resulted in a heartbreaking number of preventable attacks. This monster should never have been in our country in the first place and had the opportunity to prey on this innocent woman,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement on Friday.
“Every day, we’re working to get illegal aliens out of our country before more innocent Americans are victimized,” McLaughlin said.
Sanchez-Aguire faces charges of battery and culpable negligence, according to Local 10. His bond was set at $1,450.
ICE recently lodged a detainer with local authorities in Florida “to prevent his release back into American communities,” DHS said.
