QUINCY - A Lowell man is due to be arraigned Friday in the violent rape of a 25-year-old woman who prosecutors say was followed out of an MBTA station in Quincy and assaulted for "an extended period of time" in a secluded area.

Sean M. Soares, 29, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping, strangulation and multiple counts of aggravated rape and indecent assault and battery stemming from the April 19 attack. He is currently being held on $35,000 bail set at his arraignment in Quincy District Court later that day.

According to a motion filed by prosecutors in district court, Soares is accused of following the woman – who is described as a "complete stranger" – out of an unspecified MBTA station in Quincy late on April 18 and dragging her into bushes, where he strangled her until she broke free and escaped. Prosecutors said Soares caught the woman a second time, pulled her into a secluded area and "raped her (in) various ways over an extended period of time."

Little other information about Soares’s arrest was available Wednesday. A police report filed in district court was impounded at the request of prosecutors and Capt. John Dougan, spokesman for the Quincy Policy Department, said he wouldn’t be able to provide any information on the case until Thursday morning. The department typically does not release information about sex-related crimes.

Court documents indicate that Soares was already facing a charge of indecent assault of battery out of Lowell and had only been free for about two months when he was arrested for the rape in Quincy. He was initially held on $1,000 bail in the case when he was arraigned in 2014, but he was released this past February on his promise to return to court.

Soares was indicted on the new charges out of Quincy on June 28. The indictment moves his case from district court to superior court, where more serious cases are prosecuted and defendants face longer sentences if convicted.
