WICHITA, Kan. – Police in Wichita have arrested a suspect in the rape of a 100-year-old woman during a break-in at her home.

The Wichita Eagle reports 35-year-old Kasey L. Nesbitt was being held Friday on suspicion of rape and aggravated burglary.

Police did release the man’s name, but jail and court records list him as a Wichita resident with multiple convictions for burglary and theft.

The woman, who lives alone, told police she was awakened the night of Sept. 29 by two intruders. She walked to a neighbour’s house around 7:15 a.m. the next day to say people were still in her home.

Police Capt. Troy Livingston described the victim as a strong and brave woman who is being cared for by her family.
