A Connecticut man accused of kidnapping and raping a woman after a melee erupted following a 2006 Jadakiss concert is facing 50 years behind bars after a jury found him guilty of first-degree sexual assault and first-degree kidnapping Friday (February 15).

As reported earlier, 29-year-old Arnold Devalda took advantage of a series of brawls that took place after a Jadakiss performance at the Park Place Diner Cafe on October 22nd 2006 by forcing a woman into his Lexus and driving away with her and raping her.

The unidentified woman, who was 23 at the time, claimed that when she tried to scream for help,  Devalda punched her face and told her to be quiet.  He would then drive her to a park and rape her.

After the rape, Devalda dropped her at a Super 8 Motel on Grenhart Road.

Authorities found the woman Stamford Hospital with bruises to her neck, thigh and face.  She would  give police the license plate number of the car Devalda took her away in. The plate number matched a car registered to Devalda's girlfriend.

Authorities said two days after the concert; Devalda turned the Lexus’ license plates in to the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.

Footage from the motel’s surveillance showed a man ma tching Devalda's description arriving at the motel on the morning of the rape and tests on a vaginal swab turned up DNA traces belonging to Devalda.

According to The Stamford Advocate, Devalda is slated to be sentenced April 11th.
