SEATTLE, WA - Police are crediting the victim of a sexual assault with helping them track down her attacker.

Seattle police arrested a 33-year-old man this week in connection with the Feb. 23 rape that occurred inside a woman's University District apartment. The suspect was caught burglarizing a home this week, and police made the connection to the rape due to the "extremely detailed description" that the victim gave police.

The suspect was arrested on Monday during a burglary at a home along the 5600 block of 15th Avenue Northeast, just south of the Ravenna neighborhood. The patrol officers who arrested him believed he might be connected to the rape, and contacted detectives from the sexual assault unit.
