Man charged in rapes indicted in 3rd case

FORT WORTH - A 31-year-old man already facing trial on two rape charges was indicted this week on a third charge of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit sexual assault.

The felony indictment was returned Wednesday against Jose G. Carrillo, who remains a suspect in roughly a dozen other sexual attacks dating to December 2004.

Carrillo was in federal custody on an illegal-immigration hold in March when officials said DNA evidence linked him to the June 17, 2005, rape of a woman at the Meridian apartments on Marine Creek Parkway and the Jan. 24 rape of a woman in the 1000 block of Northwest 28th Street.

He was indicted on two charges of aggravated sexual assault stemming from those attacks.

During the Tarrant County district attorney's ongoing grand jury investigation, Carrillo was linked to the third case.

Prosecutors have said that a woman identified Carrillo in a lineup as the man who entered her Haltom City home in February through an unlocked door.

He told her that he had a knife and that if she went to the police, her children's lives would be in danger, authorities have said.
