A naked man at the Monett Laundry is in custody after approaching a woman and attempting to ask for sex, according to the Monett Police Department. Carlos Aldaba Rueda, 21, of Monett, is charged with attempted sexual abuse in the first degree, resisting arrest for a felony, and sexual misconduct as a first offense.
According to the affidavits of probable cause, the Monett Police Department was dispatched to the Monett Laundry on East Broadway for a reported naked man trying to get into a woman’s car on September 4 at 3:54 a.m. When officers arrived, the suspect, Rueda, fled on foot for about a block until Monett Sergeant Ferguson caught him and placed him in custody.
When officers interviewed the victim, she said that Rueda pulled his SUV into the parking lot behind her car, effectively blocking her in. While she went to her car, Rueda allegedly asked her to show him her breasts, but used a more graphic phrase. The victim told him no and got into her vehicle and locked the door.
At this point, the victim reported that Rueda got out of his car, and she discovered that he was naked from the head to below his waist and began grabbing her car door handle, pulling so hard the car shook. When the victim called the police, Rueda left the scene and pulled his vehicle into an alley across 8th Street.
While speaking to dispatch, the victim said Rueda got back out of his car and stood at the corner of the laundromat, wearing shorts, but holding his penis in his hand.
All of this happened while the victim’s 12 year old and six year old daughters were in the vehicle.
Once Rueda was in police custody, officers questioned him about the incident. Rueda allegedly told officers he had done “something stupid,” and thought he had “scared” a girl. Rueda told officers he had been drinking and was approaching the victim because he “wanted sex.”
During the interview, Rueda said he did not remember a lot of what happened due to his intoxication, but he did remember walking up to the victim naked. He told officers he was not aware of any children in the vehicle.
Rueda is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $20,000 cash-only bond.
