Oregon Man Convicted of Kidnapping and Sexual Assault

Negasi Zuberi was found guilty of kidnapping and sexually assaulting two women, including holding one in a makeshift cinderblock cell.

Negasi Zuberi, 30, was convicted of multiple charges including two counts of kidnapping, firearm possession, and transporting a victim for criminal sexual activity.
Zuberi posed as an undercover police officer to kidnap a Seattle sex worker, transporting her 450 miles to his home in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
The victim escaped from a soundproof cinderblock cell after several hours by breaking a security screen and was helped by a passing motorist.
Another victim was identified, having been kidnapped and assaulted by Zuberi six weeks prior to the Seattle incident.
Authorities suspect Zuberi of committing similar crimes across multiple states and linked him to other violent sexual assaults.
