OAKLAND — A second suspect was charged Friday for his role in the kidnapping, robbery and rape earlier this month of a 35-year-old woman abducted on her way to visit friends in Adams Point, police said.
Although the suspect, Clyde Aikens, 18, took part in the kidnapping and robbery, he was not present when his accomplice sexually assaulted the woman, Sgt. Dom Arotzarena said.
Aikens, who was arrested May 24 in San Francisco, was charged Friday by the district attorney's office with kidnapping to commit robbery and car-jacking.
The other suspect, 17-year-old Clifton Haynes, was arrested May 5, and is being prosecuted as an adult. He already has been charged with forcible rape, three other sex crimes and the kidnapping to commit robbery and carjacking counts.
The two suspects are accused in the May 4 attack on a 35-year-old woman, abducted in her car on Lenox Avenue.
The woman was robbed of some items and then forced to withdraw money from an ATM before Haynes dropped Aikens off, Arotzarena said.
Haynes then drove the woman to a secluded spot in the Leona Heights area in the Oakland hills where Haynes sexually assaulted her, police said. She was left in the hills and contacted nearby residents for help.
Haynes was arrested May 5 while driving the woman's car.
Arotzarena said police got a tip May 10 that Aikens was involved in the case.
A probable cause for arrest warrant was obtained for Haynes, and after he was arrested May 24 by San Francisco police for drug possession, they contacted Oakland police.
