The incident occurred somewhere along Interstate 70 in Kansas last month. Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf said, “A Greyhound bus had made a stop in Kansas City and there was an alleged rape that occurred on the bus, however they had no idea where this rape took place.” It is believed that Martinez-Maldonado boarded the bus when it stopped in Kansas City and then the incident occurred sometime after. The victim reported the rape three days after the incident.
He was arrested by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation in Missouri and given to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement until charges were filed. The criminal complaint rape charge was filed September 30. Martinez-Maldonado is being held on $100,000 bond. The public defender’s office has been appointed to represent him.
