One of two men found holding down a rape suspect at a MAX station Sunday night was the father of the woman attacked by a stranger who entered the family's Northeast Portland apartment and hid in the pantry, court documents say.

The woman, 23, told police that she didn't know her attacker and was home alone in the 100 block of Northeast 120th Avenue when she first noticed her front door was open, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court.

After closing it, she later was confused when she couldn't open her pantry door to retrieve some items while she was cooking. She thought it was odd because the pantry door doesn't have a lock on it, according to the affidavit.

The woman said a man holding a knife suddenly came out of the pantry and attacked her. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her into a bathroom, the affidavit said. She said she tried to offer him money to let her go and leave.

"Quiet," he told her, according to the affidavit. "Do whatever I say to you."

The woman said the man choked and punched her before he sexually assaulted her, the court papers said. He then put the woman in the shower and turned on the water.

The man apparently was getting dressed when the woman's father came home.

The father told police he noticed food burning on the stove when he walked in, then saw his daughter hurt and crying in the bathroom. As he went to her, he saw the man dart out of the room.

The father and another man he was with chased the suspect out of the apartment and to a MAX platform at Southeast 122nd Avenue and East Burnside Street, the affidavit said. Someone called 911.

Police said they arrived at the scene to find the two men holding down a man later identified as Sean Lacy Jr., 29. Oregon court records show he has prior convictions in 2013 for fourth-degree assault and harassment as well as second-degree robbery in 2003.

Lacy told police that the men jumped him without provocation, the affidavit said. He denied entering an apartment and raping anyone.

Lacy remains held at the Multnomah County Jail on accusations of first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, first-degree burglary and first-degree kidnapping.

Court records show Lacy has been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
