Teen Raped Woman In Front Of Child In School Parking Lot: Cops

SPRINGS, NY — An 18-year old man was arrested and charged with raping woman in front of a child outside a school Sunday, police said.

According to East Hampton Town Police, Bryan Siranaula, of East Hampton, was arrested after the incident, which allegedly took place on Sunday at 4:30 p.m. on School Street.

A woman was sitting inside a vehicle in the rear parking lot at the Springs School when she was approached by Siranaula, who opened her car door, saying that he needed to talk to her, police said.

A struggle ensued and Siranaula forced the woman into his nearby vehicle before sexually assaulting her, police said.

The woman was released by Siranaula from the car after the assault; she notified police a short time later, authorities said.

Siranaula had allegedly lured the woman to the parking lot by texting her and pretending to be someone else, the East Hampton Star reported, citing court records.

Siranaula was arrested and charged with first degree rape, first degree sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child because a child in the care of the woman at the time witnessed much of the assault, police said.

The woman received medical attention and has since been released from the hospital, police said.

Siranaula was remanded to the custody of the Suffolk County sheriff when he was unable to make $205,000 bail, police said.
