Albuquerque motel guest arrested for raping employee

A man staying at an Albuquerque motel was arrested for allegedly raping a motel employee, according to court documents. The arrest came after the employee reported that the guest followed her to her car, forced his way inside, and sexually assaulted her in his room.

Abdulvahh Cilo, 23, was staying at the Quality Inn on Iliff and Coors on Monday when the alleged attack occurred, court documents state.

The woman told investigators she had clocked out of work at 4 p.m. and was walking to her car when a man, later identified as Cilo, began following her, according to court documents.

The woman said Cilo then got into her car, first asked to make a call and then told her that he was interested in her, according to court documents.

Cilo then pulled the victim out of her car and into his room, according to court documents.

After the alleged rape, Cilo let the woman leave the room, and she told another hotel worker about the incident, who then alerted security, according to court documents.

Police arrived and arrested Cilo on charges of kidnapping, criminal sexual penetration, criminal sexual contact, false imprisonment, interference with communications and battery.

He was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center on Tuesday.
