Accused Oregon Abductor Challenges the Idea That Black Men Don’t Do Stuff Like That

Who would have thought that a 29-year-old husband and father of two had been holding a woman captive in his home in the quiet suburb of Klamath Falls, Ore? It wasn’t until one victim escaped from his captivity that the man’s alleged schemes were exposed.

The FBI’s Portland Field Office said a Washington woman accused Negasi Zuberi’s of posing as a plainclothes police officer and flashing a badge and Taser to arrest her for prostitution, then abducted her 450 miles away, sexually assaulted her several times and threw her in a makeshift cell in his home chained in handcuffs. She beat her knuckles bloody to bust down the door. Upon her escape, she ran outside and flagged down a driver passing by who called 911. {snip}

Assistant Special Agent in Charge Stephanie Shark said she believes this Washington woman may be only one victim of many.

Shark said Zuberi has been linked to four additional violent sexual assaults in at least four states, though she did not disclose where those cases were. She noted that Zuberi had been living in Oregon for several months before the alleged kidnapping.
