Court records revealed that on January 10, a staff member from Palau Community College reported that a student had been assaulted behind the orchestra building at PCC.
Investigations proved that the victim, Gloria Rudolf, had been taken to the hospital for her injuries. Rudolf stated that she was kicked a number of times on the back and thighs by the defendant and that she had been hit in the face with a wrench.
Based on Rudolf’s physical description of the assailant and the clothes that he was wearing, officers patrolling the PCC campus apprehended Becheserrak. He matched Rudolf’s description of the attacker. The victim later identified the defendant in a photograph.
