DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — A woman in Delray Beach did not have a happy Valentine’s Day. According to the cops, a guy who broke into her home and attacked her sexually on Valentine’s Day was the cause.
Christopher John O’Reilly, who is 34 years old, was nabbed by police on Tuesday. The investigation has been going on for more than a year.
Police say that the woman told them about what happened on Valentine’s Day last year. This was two weeks ago.
The 50-year-old woman told cops that her friend had called her to say that O’Reilly was outside, banging on her front door and peering through her windows. The woman told her friend to lock the doors and not answer the door.
The woman said that after that, she started getting texts and phone calls from a number she didn’t know. According to the police report, O’Reilly answered when she called the number back and asked where she was. The woman hung up the phone, drove home, and drove around the parking lot to look for O’Reilly’s car before going inside.
Later that morning, the woman told cops that someone had knocked on her door again. When the woman opened the door, O’Reilly was already there.
Police say that O’Reilly told her he had a gift for her for Valentine’s Day. She told him to put it out on the patio. The woman said that O’Reilly told her, “It’s me.” She said, “That’s disgusting,” and told him to leave.
According to what the woman told the cops, O’Reilly then came up to her and touched her breasts. She said that O’Reilly pushed through the door and threw her onto the sofa, where he continued to sexually assault her. She told him that she had asked him to stop several times and that he was hurting her.
After that, the woman told cops that O’Reilly had asked her to meet him at a restaurant, which she did, but only for a few minutes because he was “disgusting.”
Police looked at the woman’s home security video to see if what she said about the attack inside her home was true.
