Raleigh police arrested a registered sex offender on first-degree rape charges Monday.
Donald Wesley Currin Jr., 33, of 7200 Sunset View Court in Willow Spring, offered a woman a ride, then took her to a construction site in the 2500 block of South Saunders Street where he raped her at knife point, according to Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.
Police have not yet said when the alleged assault took place.
