   Negasi Zuberi, 30, was found guilty on Friday. Washoe County Jail   
      
   An Oregon man has been found guilty on kidnapping, sex crimes and weapons   
   charges after holding a woman captive in a makeshift prison in his garage,   
   according to federal officials.   
      
   Negasi Zuberi, 30, was found guilty on Friday of kidnapping, transporting a   
   victim for criminal sexual activity, and illegally possessing a firearm and   
   ammunition as a convicted felon, according to a news release from the   
   Department of Justice.   
      
   Zuberi posed as a police officer and used a Taser and handcuffs to detain one   
   victim in the backseat of his car in July 2023 in Seattle, according to the   
   news release. He then drove her over 400 miles to his home in Klamath Falls,   
   “stopping along the    
   way to sexually assault her,” the release says.   
      
   At his home, Zuberi moved the victim into a “cell he had constructed in his   
   garage,” the Justice Department release says.   
      
   “The woman repeatedly banged on the cell door until it broke open and she   
   escaped,” the news release says. “The victim retrieved a handgun from   
   Zuberi’s vehicle, fled his garage, and flagged down a passing motorist who   
   called 911.”   
      
   Police arrested Zuberi the next day in Reno, Nevada.   
      
   The July incident wasn’t the first time Zuberi had kidnapped a victim,   
   according to authorities: During the course of their investigation, federal   
   agents found that about six weeks before, he had kidnapped and sexually   
   assaulted another victim.   
      
   “While being held by Zuberi, his first victim observed stacked cinder blocks   
   in his garage that he later used to construct the cell where he detained his   
   second victim,” the release says.   
      
   The kidnapping charges are punishable by up to life in prison, according to   
   the release.   
      
   The jury deliberated for just over four hours before returning a verdict,   
   according to CNN affiliate KDRV.   
      
   As part of his closing arguments, Zuberi’s defense attorney, Michael   
   Berthoff, questioned what he framed as discrepancies in the two victims’   
   testimonies. “This case is about nothing other than the credibility of”   
   the victims, he said, according    
   to KDRV.   
      
   Assistant US Attorney for Oregon Nathan Lichvarcik, alternately, showed photos   
   of one victim’s injuries.   
      
   “The doctor at the ER knew it when he saw it; somebody hit her… those are   
   the marks of power, control and forcible domination,” he said, according to   
   KDVR. “Those are the marks of rape.”
