A Honduran man who has entered the United States illegally three times kidnapped his estranged girlfriend and repeatedly raped her at knifepoint on a drive from Missouri to New Jersey, federal prosecutors said.

Jose Amaya-Vasquez was arrested in May at a motel in Bellmawr, near Philadelphia, after law enforcement officers tracked the woman’s cellphone. He was charged by federal prosecutors on Oct. 14.

Amaya-Vasquez, 30, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Camden on Monday. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney to comment on the charges.
