Daniel Cabrera, 23 years, an Hispanic male, who last known address is 7747 Pine Hawk Lane, Orlando, was arrested at 1:49 am on Saturday morning by officers of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Sex Crimes Squad.

During this interview, the victim was able to positively identify Cabrera as the person who attempted to sexually batter her.
The attempted rape took place near Goldenrod Road on Tuesday night. The victim, a 21-year-old woman had told deputies she was dragged into a wooded area when an unknown man attempted to rape her. She was able to fight back and run for help.
