A member of the UConn soccer team was arrested Monday on a fugitive from justice charge after a five-week investigation found he violently sexually assaulted a fellow student multiple times, according to prosecutors.
Ziyad Fekri, 21, was taken into custody by the FBI Safe Streets Task Force in New York. He faces two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and one count of unlawful restraint when he returns to Superior Court in Rockville.
Fekri was previously arrested on Feb. 15 after a UConn student reported to university police she had been assaulted by a fellow student, prosecutors said.
