Corning Police Arrest Rape Suspect After Victim Arranges Meeting

A Corning man has been arrested for rape after his alleged victim helped snare him. On Saturday an officer was sent to Saint Elizabeth Hospital in Red Bluff to interview a sexual assault victim. She said her attacker’s name was “Jose”. She helped arrange a meeting with the man, who apparently thought she wanted to see him again. When a Cadillac arrived in the area where the meeting would occur officers ran the plate and found it was registered to 24-year-old Jose Alex Lorenzo Sierra. He was booked into jail on charges that include rape by force and strangulation.
