Police arrested and charged an El Salvadoran national with several felonies who police believe to have connections to the violent MS-13 gang after he allegedly broke into a Southampton, New York house and sexually assaulted a sleeping 19-year-old woman, The New York Post reported.

According to reports, Southampton Town Justice Barbara Wilson set bail at $2 million cash and $4 million bond after 20 year-old Marvin Saul Siciliano-Nunez was charged with first degree burglary, second degree burglary, first degree sexual abuse, and first degree criminal sex act. Siciliano-Nunez was also charged with criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, a misdemeanor.

“I could never pay that amount of money,” the The New York Post reported Siciliano-Nunez saying. “I’d rather go to jail.”

The incident occurred in one of the wealthiest areas of the United States where beachside mansions line the neighborhoods and the well-off regularly spend their summers.

During the arraignment Saturday, Southampton Patch reported, Assistant District Attorney Rob Archer said that Siciliano-Nunez engaged in the home break in and sexual assault Friday morning after he gained entry into the main residence by going through the residence’s pool house.

He entered the bedroom where the woman was sleeping and “forced a resident into unwanted sexual contact,” Archer said.

A complaint said that Siciliano-Nunez threatened to “strike the victim with what appeared to be a wooden baseball bat if she did not perform oral sex with him.”

The Post reported the woman managed to escape after the assault and ran outside naked looking for help as Siciliano-Nunez chased her with a baseball bat until police were contacted and found the suspect wandering around the neighborhood.

Police say the suspect worked for eight months as a housepainter with a local contracting company called Diego’s Painting

“There were a ton of cops all over,” said one witness, who noted she was not shocked the perpetrator is a suspected gang member.

The witness added, “You can’t tell who they are because they’re friends of the trade people who work here.”

Southampton Patch reported Siciliano-Nunez confirmed he was from El Salvador, not a U.S. citizen, and has “limited ties to the community.

His attorney, Carl Irace, said that Siciliano-Nunez lived in Hampton Bays for two years and attended Hampton Bays High School.

The suspect attempted to apply for citizenship, but a prior DWI conviction complicated immigration matters for him, Irace said. His current immigration status is unknown. The legal aid department will handle his case.

According to local law enforcement, Siciliano-Nunez also stole jewelry, a cellphone, and a skateboard from the pool house.

Archer noted that charges are still pending against Siciliano-Nunez for a “violent felony” that happened in May at a nearby Hampton Bay bar. Local reports described the May assault allegedly involving the suspect as a “felony gang assault.”

Irace said Siciliano-Nunez was released on his own recognizance, which he said “speaks to the merit and gravity of that case,” and is “unlikely to result in incarceration.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
