Maine -- A convicted rapist is in custody after an elderly woman says he attacked her and tried to rape her. The attack happened Sunday night at a house in Hampden.
The woman was watching the Super Bowl when she saw a man walk through her house. When she yelled at him, the man attacked her from behind. The attacker then forced her to the bedroom.
Police say that's when the woman faked a heart attack, causing her assailant to panic and try to flee. The woman called the police and he was quickly caught while sitting idly in his vehicle on a nearby road.
In 1984, the man was charged with first degree rape in Alabama and sentenced to 15 years.
The woman was not injured in the attack. Police say her quick thinking by faking a heart attack likely kept her from being sexually assaulted.
