22-Year-Old Nigerian Student Arrested For Raping Hungarian Prostitute

A 22-year-old Nigerian man, suspected of choking and raping a woman in Budapest’s 7th district, originally came to Hungary to study.

The 22-year-old university student is being prosecuted for sexual violence after the Activity Control Center of the Budapest Police Headquarters received a report from a woman that she had been raped in her home, according to police.

The woman told the detectives that she had met the man on a website which advertises sexual services. In the afternoon, at around 3 PM of April 11, the man went to her house, she asked for the money in advance, but after he refused to pay, she told him to go. The man did not leave the woman’s home; instead he started choking her, raped her, then fled the scene.

The police officers of the 7th district of Budapest started looking for the perpetrator immediately. They checked out the information the woman could provide about the man as well as footages from nearby security cameras.

This led them to identify the 22-year-old E. I. Joseph as the culprit. They arrested him in the 6th district the same day, at 6:40 PM. The police questioned the Nigerian student, who has a valid visa, with the well-founded suspicion of sexual violence. He denies committing the crime. He is now being held in custody.
