Jose Carrasquillo DNA Tested After Rape of 11-year-old

Philadelphia police plan to announce the results of DNA tests done on a man questioned in the rape of an 11-year-old girl.

Lt. Frank Vanore says police will hold a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Vanore says the news conference is about DNA test results done on 26-year-old Jose Carrasquillo. He wouldn't say what the results were.

Carrasquillo was beaten last week by angry residents after police identified him as a "person of interest" in the case.

That was a day after the girl was brutally raped on her way to school in the city's Kensington section.

Carrasquillo is being held on an unrelated warrant. He has not been charged in the rape; but police have said they expect to file charges.
