   He cannot be rehabilitated, kill him.   
      
   CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police said a 15-year-old suspect is in custody after a   
   woman was kidnapped at gunpoint, raped and robbed in the University City area   
   of Charlotte early Saturday morning.   
      
   On Monday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they arrested and charged the   
   teen with three counts of first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, robbery   
   with a dangerous weapon and three counts of first-degree sex offense. They are   
   not releasing his name    
   because of his age.   
      
   Officers said the incident started around 2 a.m. at the 49North Apartments   
   near Mallard Creek Church Road and University Boulevard.   
      
   “This victim was truly an innocent victim. Does what any of us do, coming   
   and going,” Sgt. Allie Rooks, with the CMPD rape unit, said.   
      
   CMPD said the teenager approached the 21-year-old woman in the apartment   
   complex parking lot and threatened her with a gun.   
      
   Officials said the suspect then forced his way into the victim's car and   
   demanded she go to several different ATMs to withdraw money before police said   
   he raped her.   
      
   “After he had the money, he then sexually assaulted her in her vehicle and   
   let her out,” Rooks said.   
      
   The victim was able to get away from the suspect near the intersection of   
   North Tryon Street and University City Boulevard, but the suspect drove off in   
   the victim's car.   
      
   Officers said they found the vehicle and began a chase, but were unable to   
   capture the accused kidnapper and rapist after he ditched the car at Pondridge   
   Court. Officers used K-9s to search the area, but were unable to find the   
   suspect.   
      
   Police haven't said how they were able to track the 15-year-old suspect down   
   on Monday.   
      
   They said the teenager had been released on bond and ordered to wear an   
   electronic monitor in an unrelated felony case when the assault happened.   
      
   Police said they had been looking for him since the battery on his electronic   
   monitor died a week ago.   
      
   “Mom confirms that he had been reported missing that morning and had no   
   leads to locate the kid. At this point, it's just a missing juvenile who's   
   violated by not charging his device,” CMPD Sgt. Michael Carter said.   
      
   The attack came just days after a frustrated CMPD Chief Kerr Putney said the   
   monitoring program has become an excuse to let dangerous suspects out of jail.   
      
   “They should get their trial, but they should not be out on EM or any other   
   way continuing to victimize people who are trying to go about their   
   business,” Putney said.   
      
   Police said there are more than 20 murder suspects out of jail with electronic   
   monitors.   
      
   They said last year they charged three people who were out of jail on   
   electronic monitoring with murder. Last week, officers added a fourth when   
   they arrested a teenager on electronic monitoring for the murder of   
   17-year-old Alysha Johnson.   
      
   The EM program does have its defenders, though.   
      
   “EM, in fact, was a program that was designed by the police department and   
   started by the police department,” Mike Kabakoff, who is is a public   
   defender, said.   
      
   Kabakoff said, despite a handful of terrible cases, defendants wearing   
   electronic monitors are less likely to commit more crime than those released   
   without them.   
      
   “Again, the numbers are real low when it comes to people re-offending when   
   they're on EM,” Kabakoff said.   
      
   Those who live at 49North said this is not the first time they have heard   
   about crime in the area and said now, they are hoping something can be done to   
   fix it.
