The victim, Lamison said, was home alone at the time of the attack, and ran naked from the residence as Siciliano-Nunez chased her with a baseball bat.
The attack stunned the affluent Southampton community, where such crimes, "are rare," Lamison said. The quiet nature of the community is why people choose to live in Southampton, he said.

Original story: An alleged gang member charged in a near-fatal stabbing just three months ago was apprehended Friday after a Southampton home invasion during which he sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman who had been asleep inside, police said. Marvin Saul Siciliano-Nunez, 20, of Hampton Bays, was arrested and charged with first degree burglary, second degree burglary, first degree sexual abuse, first degree criminal sex act, all felonies, and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, a misdemeanor, police said.
According to Southampton Village Police, a 911 call came in on Friday at 8:05 a.m. about a possible sexual assault at a home on Little Plains Road.
The residence is located among multi-million dollar homes in one of the most exclusive and wealthy areas in the country, in the heart of Southampton Village.
Officers were quickly dispatched to the immediate area, where a perimeter was set up around the home, police said.
Soon after, a patrol officer spotted a man walking east on Meeting House Lane, approximately one tenth of a mile from the location of the attack, police said.
As the officer approached the man, he "took off running," leading the officer on a foot pursuit, police said.
A second officer joined in on the foot pursuit and moments later, the man was apprehended and taken into custody, police said.
Siciliano-Nunez is alleged to have entered multiple residences on a property on Little Plains Road, stealing assorted jewelry, a cell phone and a skateboard from a pool house, police said.
He then is alleged to have entered the main house, while the young woman was sleeping in a bedroom, police said.
He threatened the woman with bodily harm if she didn't comply with his demands, police said.
The victim was taken to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead where she received medical treatment, police said.
Southampton Village Police were assisted in the investigation by the New York State Police crime scene team and Southampton Town Police.
Sicliano-Nunez was among four people charged with felony gang assault in May after a double stabbing outside a Hampton Bays bar, police said. That case is still pending. He is believed to have ties to the MS-13 gang, police said.
