Raymond V. Diamond
Caught in the act: Cops: Woman flees rapist ' then ID's him from predator posting
A Dorchester woman who was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a registered sexual predator staggered naked and bleeding into a police station yesterday after leaping from her attacker's car and racing several blocks for help, cops said.
As police called for an ambulance, the woman spotted a board festooned with mugshots of Level 3 sex offenders and began to scream, pointing at a picture of Raymond V. Diamond, 43, who has been arrested for rape seven times and convicted of three sexua
l attacks. ``That's him!'' the woman, who is in her 30s, hollered through hysterical tear
s around 6:40 a.m., pounding her fists on the glass case holding the felons' pictures. ``That's the guy who raped me!''
Her identification led District B-3 cops to nab Diamond just minutes before he was allegedly set to rape a second victim he had picked up while posing as a gypsy cab driver, said Deputy Superintendent Margot Hill, the commander of the Boston Police Family Justice Division.
``These officers not only captured a suspect wanted for rape,'' Hill said, ``they also prevented another rape from happening.''
Diamond's staggering history of sex crimes - and the fact he was free and living in Dorchester with his brother, Daryl, also a Level 3 offender - outraged Mark Presti, who buried his sister and 12-year-old niece last July after they were murdered
in
their Woburn home, allegedly by a registered Level 3 offender. ``Guys like this are sick people, they are monsters, they need to be watched,'' Presti said,
insisting that Level 3 sex offenders, who are most likely to attack again, should be monitored with GPS tracking. ``The people need to be protected.''
Diamond was convicted in 1989 of a crime eerily similar to yesterday's alleged attack. In the older case, he kidnapped a Charlestown woman and raped her in his car during a 45-minute ordeal that ended in a high-speed chase with cops. It's unclear how much time he served for the crime or whether he would have been eligible for civil commitment as a sex predator under a law that took effect in 1999.
