Not Guilty Plea In Brutal Santa Rosa Sexual Assault

Updated: 11:45 am PST March 3, 2008

The suspect in the brazen kidnapping, stabbing and rape of a Santa Rosa woman pleaded not guilty Monday to nine felony charges in Sonoma County Superior Court.

Aristotle Quadra, 30, of Santa Rosa is suspected of kidnapping a 29-year-old woman as she loaded groceries into her car in the Safeway store parking lot on Yulupa Avenue on Feb. 7.

He allegedly then forced the woman, whose pre-school age child was in the car, to drive to a darkened area in the 3700 block of Montgomery Drive where he allegedly raped her and stabbed her more than 10 times before he fled.

Quadra is charged with attempted murder, kidnapping with intent to commit rape, rape, kidnapping a child under age 14, assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats, false imprisonment, robbery and child endangerment. A preliminary hearing is set for April 15.

Quadra was arrested Feb.10 after police went to search his Mayette Avenue home after someone reported seeing Quadra in the vicinity of the shopping center around the time of the kidnapping, according to Santa Rosa police.

Police said Quadra stabbed himself in the stomach with a spear in the kitchen of his home after they arrived. He spent several days in a hospital before he was transferred to the Sonoma County jail.
