Two men have been arrested and charged for the rape and beating of a 50-year-old woman in the Merrifield area of Fairfax last week, police say.
Rivelino Villegas-Posada, 34, and Jubencio Castro, 24, are charged with rape and aggravated malicious wounding. Both have no fixed address.
The victim told police that just after 1 a.m. Friday, two men hit her in the head with a blunt object and then sexually assaulted her behind a building in the 2400 block of Gallows Road.
They also took cash from her before taking off on foot, authorities said.
Police were able to collect enough evidence at the scene to arrest the two suspects.
