JERSEY CITY - A 31-year-old man convicted of raping a woman in 2003 is now accused of breaking into another's woman's home this month and sexually assaulting her.

Marquis Gilchrist is charged with aggravated sexual assault on a 22-year-old woman, whom he held at knifepoint inside her home on Fairmount Avenue on Aug. 13, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced Monday evening.

While authorities have not released specifics of the attack - including where exactly the assault occurred - sources told The Jersey Journal Gilchrist climbed through a window at the victim's home and raped her.

Gilchrist was paroled from state prison in November after receiving a 15-year sentence for the same offense on the same Jersey City street in 2003.

In the Nov. 20, 2003 attack, Gilchrist broke into the woman's home and threatened her with a knife. When he didn't find anything to steal he told the victim "I have to take something from you" and threatened to kill her if she told anyone what happened, The Jersey Journal previously reported.

Four days after the 2003 sexual assault, Gilchrist was arrested in a separate burglary on Jewett Avenue and later submitted to a DNA test that linked him to the Fairmount Avenue rape, authorities said.

A spokesman for the Department of Corrections said Gilchrist was granted parole on Nov. 6, 2016. That same week was he placed on electronic monitoring, though it is not clear if he was still following the conditions of his release.

Gilchrist was arrested on Aug. 23 for violating parole and was charged with drug offenses at the time of his arrest. Two days later the prosecutor's office charged him in the attack, officials said.

He made his first court appearance on Saturday afternoon and was ordered to be held pending trial. He's scheduled to appear again on Wednesday.
