An arrest has been made for an alleged rape that occurred four years ago in Pullman. Detectives from Pullman traveled to Kent, Washington to arrest Bert Mageo, 24, in connection with an alleged 2004 rape of a then 26-year old woman.

The woman reported she was asleep in her bed when an unknown man entered her apartment on the 1400 block of N.E. Wheatland Drive in Pullman and proceeded to rape her. The suspect left behind fingerprints, which at the time were checked against the electronic fingerprint database with no matches.

In February a confirmed match was made by the state crime lab to Mageo, who was convicted on harassment and assault charges in King County. After detectives contacted the victim in Philadelphia, where she now lives, they were able to obtain a no-bail arrest warrant late last week in Whitman County Superior Court.

Mageo was transported to Whitman County Tuesday and was booked on the charge of first-degree rape in the case. He is scheduled to appear in court sometime Wednesday.

A Lenore, Idaho man has been arrested in the alleged rape of a 20-year old acquaintance. Jeremy Bovencamp, 27, is charged with one count of felony rape, after 2nd District Court records indicate he is alleged to have sexually assaulted the woman in an apartment on the 200 block of Ninth Street in Lewiston, Idaho.

Lewiston police began investigating the case at about 3am May 25, after the woman checked in at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center. According to court records, the woman told authorities that she attempted to push Bevencamp away during the alleged assault.

Reports indicate Bovencamp was intoxicated at the time of the alleged incident. Bovencamp remained in custody at the Nez Perce County Jail Friday on $5,000 bond. A probable cause hearing in the case is scheduled for Wednesday.
