Nearly a month after a woman claimed she was held captive and raped for more than six hours in a New York apartment, before jumping from a second-story window to escape, the man police believe is responsible has been arrested nearly 3,000 miles away in Washington State.
Michael Hosang, 53, was taken into custody on Thursday and now awaits extradition back to New York, according to authorities.
He is accused of brutally raping a 29-year-old woman multiple times between 6:00am and noon on May 30, at an apartment near 224th Street and 130 Avenue in Queens.

In addition to the litany of sexual assault charges, Hosang is also accused of punching the woman in the face multiple times, causing at least one fracture to her face.
