According to the police report, a female reported being sexually assaulted in the area of Miacomet Road and Ellens Way to a female friend at The Chicken Box, who then told a Massachusetts State Trooper in the area. When NPD officer Derek Witherell arrived on the scene he saw a female who was visibly upset and told him the suspect was in his 30s with slick black hair and the incident occurred after he picked her up at the end of Polliwog Road.

The alleged victim told police the man locked the doors and pulled the car over before sexually assaulting her. While Witherell was speaking to the alleged victim, a vehicle drove by and Witherell asked if it was the vehicle in question, which the woman replied saying yes.

The vehicle was stopped approximately 200 feet from where Witherell and the female were standing and the operator was identified as Felix Perez Gomez. Gomez said he was new to the area and going for a drive in his friend’s vehicle. He denied ever picking anyone up.

A "show up ID "was conducted with the female victim and Gomez, and the woman was “100 percent” certain Gomez was the one who picked her up and sexually assaulted her according to police.
