Rape Charges Filed, Suspect Followed Woman from Metro Station: Police

Landover, MD — Detectives have charged a man for raping a woman he allegedly followed from a Metro station to a Landover business, where she was sexually assaulted.

A tip from the public led police to arrest Jahahree Chester, 24, of no fixed address, in the attack.

Prince George's County Police last week asked for the community’s help to identify and find the assault suspect, and shared surveillance images of him. The assault took place shortly before 6:45 a.m. June 9 in the 4000 block of Garden City Drive in Landover.
