Sakir Akkan, an illegal immigrant from Turkey, is accused of raping a 15-year-old New York girl in his Prius after threatening to beat her with a pipe.
Border Patrol agents arrested him in November 2023 at the U.S.-Mexico border in California and released him into the interior, according to the paper. Then he obtained a New Jersey driver's license and a car and settled in Troy, New York.
Akkan was being held in an Albany jail without bail. He is due back in court Thursday afternoon.
