Prosecutors said the summer school student--a sixteen-year old native of Puerto Rico--missed the last train from the Boston College train stop back to Harvard Square last Thursday. When she walked to the street and tried to hail a cab at around 12:30 am, Wodja offered her a ride back to Harvard.
According to David Felcone, a spokesperson for the district attorney's office in Suffolk County, the victim was able to escape the car, but was pursued on foot by the Woodja until he allegedly allegedly became afraid that the student's screams would attract suspicion and he sped away from the scene.
Court documents identified Wodja as an orthodontics student at Boston University, but Boston University spokesperson Colin Riley said Wodja was no longer a student there.
Students Drop Lawsuit Against Harvard
Two students suing the College for their diplomas have dropped their suit and may have lost their last chance to stay in the country, a lawyer for one of the students said this week.
