SEDGWICK COUNTY– The Wichita Police Department has arrested a suspect involved in a sexual assault and also located a second survivor from a previous incident.

Just after 9:30p.m. November 19, a female victim was walking home in the 500 block of W. Skinner in Wichita when a male suspect approached her in a red Toyota Corolla, according to Officer Juan Rebolledo.

The suspect solicited her, offering money for sexual acts. When she did not respond and continued walking, he threatened to harm her. The situation escalated, and he struck her with his vehicle, dragged her inside, and forcibly drove her to an alley in the 1600 block of S. Waco.

The suspect subjected the victim to a violent sexual assault before returning her to her residence. He photographed her ID to obtain her address and issued death threats should she report the crime.

Displaying remarkable resilience and strength, the victim noted the suspect's license plate, called 911 and provided officers with detailed information.

Patrol South officers quickly responded and used Flock camera technology to identify a vehicle that matched the suspect's description. Further investigation, in collaboration with the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, connected the vehicle to a relative of the suspect in Haysville.

Through tireless investigative efforts by police, including the Domestic Violence Intervention Response Team (DVIRT), critical evidence was obtained, leading to the arrest of the suspect, Christopher Calisay.

The case was presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office, resulting in the following charges: Aggravated Kidnapping, Two counts of Rape, Sodomy, Two counts of Aggravated Battery and  Criminal Threat.
