A third man has been charged in the May 2006 rape of a 14-year-old Mandan girl.

Angelberto Ybarra, also known as Angel Ybarra, was charged Tuesday with Class AAfelony gross sexual imposition for the May 26, 2006, incident.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

According to police, the 14-year-old girl and two friends were lured into a residence on the 700 block of Poplar Lane by men offering them alcohol on May 26.

The girl told police that she went to the bathroom to get something out of her eye, and her friends were gone when she got back. She said she was dragged into a bedroom when she tried to leave.

Two men, Estanislado Jilpas-Tamez and Angel Gabriel Loria-Tamayo, were identified and charged with gross sexual imposition in the case.

Tamayo, 23, pleaded guilty in August to the charge. South Central District Judge sentenced Tamayo, an illegal immigrant, to 10 years in prison in October.

According to an affidavit from Mandan Police Det. Beth Tebelius, the state crime lab confirmed that Tamayo's DNA was found on the victim's body.

Tamez, 19, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor offenses of assault and sexual assault as part of a plea agreement after the state crime lab did not find physical evidence linking Tamez to the crime.

However, the crime lab did find physical evidence of a previously unidentified third suspect on the victim's body, Tebelius wrote in the affidavit.

Reich sentenced Tamez to time served and two years of supervised probation. Included in Tamez's plea agreement was a provision that he had to assist authorities in identifying the third suspect, Tebelius wrote.

Tamez, a legal U.S. resident from Illinois, told Tebelius in December that Tamayo told him that Ybarra also had sex with the victim, Tebelius wrote. She wrote that the victim said she may have passed out for a time during the attack and did not remember a third assailant.

Tamez, who is Ybarra's cousin, gave Tebelius an address for him in Illinois, but Ybarra later was located in Iowa. Physical evidence obtained by law enforcement there provided enough evidence to charge Ybarra, 20, in the case, said Lt. Paul Leingang.

"Ybarra was a person officers had spoken to the day the incident was reported," Leingang said.
