Wichita police arrest suspect in two sexual assaults

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – Wichita police say they have arrested a suspect for two sexual assaults in the past two months.

On Nov. 19, a woman was walking home in the 500 block of West Skinner when she was approached by a man in a red car, police said. The man tried to proposition her for sex, but when she did not respond, he continued walking and threatened her.

The suspect, later identified as Christopher Calisay, hit the woman with his car, pulled her inside and drove her against her will into an alley in the 1600 block of N. Waco.

Police said the suspect carried out a “violent sexual assault” before taking her to his home. Police said he took a photo of the man’s ID to hide his address and threatened to kill him if he reported the attack to police.

The victim gave police the suspect’s license plate number and additional information about him. Police used Flock camera technology to identify a vehicle matching the victim’s description and connected it to a relative of the suspect in Haysville.

Calisay was arrested for aggravated kidnapping, two counts of rape, sodomy, two counts of aggravated battery and criminal threats.

On Tuesday, police met with organizations such as the Wichita County Sexual Assault Center, crime analysts, patrol bureaus and officers from the Broadway Corridor Team (BWCT) to discuss the crime. Police said someone at BWCT recalled a case in October where a victim was assaulted under similar circumstances.

BWCT located the victim in the South Broadway area and interviewed him. Police teams examined the security camera footage and determined that the suspect in the attack was driving the same red car.

For this crime, Calisay was arrested for aggravated battery, rape, aggravated sodomy, simple battery, criminal threats, and kidnapping.
