CHARLOTTE — A 32-year-old man is accused of breaking into a home in
Ballantyne and sexually assaulting a woman Wednesday morning, police
said.

Suspect physically, sexually assaulted victim in south Charlotte
Officers responded to the home in the 10200 block of Chivalry Drive
off Ballantyne Commons Parkway on a breaking-and-entering call.

The victim’s teen child called 911 to say someone broke into their
home and was assaulting his mom downstairs.

“It was a very violent assault,” said CMPD Maj. Jonathan Thomas.

They heard screaming inside and quickly took Santerius Qwayshawn
Allen into custody.

“This was very rare for us to catch a violent offender like this, in
the act, on the scene,” Thomas said.

Police said Allen broke into the woman’s home at about 10:30 a.m.
through a window and raped her.

The attack appeared to be random, CMPD said.

The teen was not physically assaulted, police said.

“That brave child was able to stay on the phone hiding, stay on the
phone with dispatchers until officers arrived,” CMPD Capt. Jamie
Ivie said. “Officers made entry and were able to quickly take the
suspect into custody.”

He was taken to jail and charged with first-degree kidnapping,
second-degree rape, second-degree sex offense, sexual battery, and
assault on a female.

The suspect has a criminal history.

“I just cannot say enough how much this person should not be out,”
Thomas said. “Hopefully, the justice system will take control of
this person and put them away for a very long time.”

Allen was not issued a bond Wednesday.

He has an October 2015 conviction for assault on an officer in
Cleveland County, according to the North Carolina Department of
Corrections.

While in prison, he was also charged with malicious conduct,
possessing stolen goods, and assaulting another officer.

In 2014, Allen was charged with a breaking-and-entering charge. That
case was dismissed because of insufficient evidence.

Allen is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday
morning.
