GUILTY CA - Eddie Perez, 19 Rapes, Uses Tire Iron to Beat 16 Year Old Girl for 5 Days.

Authorities in the South Valley have arrested a man accused of beating and raping a 16-year-old girl over the course of five days. Eddie Perez, 19, of Avenal was taken into custody in Hanford on Saturday night. Hanford police had been searching for him since his battered girlfriend was rescued from his car on Friday.

Witnesses say the victim was found screaming in a car, unable to move from being beaten so badly. She's recovering from surgery and is expected to be OK. Albert Martinez couldn't be more relieved to hear of the arrest. He was the first to find the 16-year-old victim, who was repeatedly raped and beat with a tire iron. It's an image Martinez says is seared into his memory.
