Davidson County, NC – A 24-year-old man is being held without bond after allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home in Winston-Salem and raping her, according to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office.
According to deputies, the incident occurred on September 14, 2025, when the woman reported that Carlos Juarez entered her home on Kinder Road while she was asleep. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Patrol Division responded to the call, and the case was later handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division.
Detectives say multiple interviews confirmed Juarez allegedly broke into the residence, assaulted the victim, and held her against her will. Warrants were issued for burglary, first-degree kidnapping, second-degree rape, and second-degree sex offense.
On September 30, 2025, Juarez—who was already on federal probation—was taken into custody without incident by Winston-Salem police after his probation officer alerted authorities to his whereabouts. He was booked into the Forsyth County Detention Center and is being held with no bond.
Sheriff Richie Simmons noted that most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Statistics show that one in four women will experience sexual assault in their lifetime, yet fewer than five percent report such crimes to law enforcement. Officials urged anyone who is a victim of sexual assault to come forward immediately.
