Woman sexually assaulted trying to sell home

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- A real estate agent said she was raped inside a Rock Hill home she was trying to sell.

The house has all the signs of a house for sale: signs in the front yard and a lockbox on the door. The only difference is the black fingerprint dust the police left behind.

"When I looked out the window there was a forensic truck and the police cars all parked in front of my driveway," said neighbor Valerie Bullard.

The realtor showing the Rock Hill house said she had been raped.

Detectives said the woman got a call to meet a client at 9:30 Saturday morning.

When she got to the house, her attacker came at her from behind, forcing her inside the house to the floor and then raped her, according to police.

People who live near the house said they were shocked.

"It's pretty bad cause I'm here all day by myself all the time," said neighbor Shannon Garcia.

She said she thinks she saw the victim minutes after it happened.

"She had on a white skirt and what we could see from here the skirt looked messed up," said Garcia.

Police said the realtor was terrified and couldn't tell them if her rapist was outside the house waiting for her, or inside when she arrived to show the house.

"(I feel) scared, 'cause you know, if they could do that to her they could do that to anybody," said Garcia.

"I've always felt safe, but not now," said Bullard.
