It’s alleged to have occurred at a home in Red Lion Friday.
State Police say they were called to the residence around 8:55 p.m.
A trooper arrived on scene and spoke with the victim, who advised that 22-year-old Abraham Perez “took a rag covered in bleach and held it over her mouth, so she would be quiet,” charging documents say. Perez then allegedly held the victim down and attempted to rape her.

Perez faces the following charges: attempted rape, sexual assault, false imprisonment, strangulation, simple assault and harassment, court documents show.
