Photo submitted Assault and rape suspect arrested On January 30, 2015 Hanford Police Officers responded to the 600 Block of East Malone for a domestic violence call of service. While on the scene officers quickly discovered a 16 year old female victim who had been severely beaten and raped over the course of five days. She was reported as a runaway out of Avenal two weeks ago. The victim was struck several times with a vehicle tire iron. This caused severe injury to both her arms and legs. The victim was unable to leave the vehicle as her hands were tied up and she lost the use of her legs due to injury. The victim was able to scream for help as a citizen of Hanford walked past her vehicle. Perez was not in the vehicle at this time. The victim was transported to a local hospital where she has undergone surgery and is being treated for her injuries. Police searched door to door until Perez was located at a nearby apartment. The suspect Eddie Perez,19, was taken into custody Saturday night. Some of the crimes he was charged with include four counts of assault with a deadly weapon, specifically a tire iron,three counts of rape with a minor, torture, battery, and attempted murder totaling 16 charges. When the prosecutors read Perez his charges in court Monday, he shook his head in disbelief. He looked shocked when they charged him with attempted murder and cried through most the arraignment. Perez is being held in the Kings County Jail and his bail is set at $6,850,000.
