A scooter-riding suspect described as a “sex abuse recidivist” who is accused of brutally beating and raping a 25-year-old woman inside a Queens park was ordered held without bail at his arraignment Saturday. 
Oscar Vallejo, 31, was riding a scooter when he approached the victim and threatened her as she was walking to work near Union Field Cemetery, on Cyprus Ave. near Vermont Place, around 9 p.m. on May 30, according to police and court documents. 
He ordered her to hop on the scooter with him. 
“Get on. 
I’ll hurt you if you don’t get on. 
There is a car that will take you and hurt you,” Vallejo allegedly told the victim, court documents said. 
The victim complied and was taken to Highland Park. 
She initially tried to escape, but the suspect threw her to the ground, where she hit her head. 
Vallejo then brandished a bottle at the victim and threatened to kill her, before removing her clothes and raping her, officials said. 
The suspect beat the victim during the encounter, punching and kicking her, cops said. 
When questioned by officers, the woman could not say with certainty how long the attack lasted, but a law enforcement source said the suspect held the woman against her will for hours. 
The victim was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where she was treated for injuries consistent with sexual assault. 
Vallejo was arrested Thursday and charged with rape, kidnapping, sex abuse and assault. 
He has six arrests on record, including multiple prior charges of attempted rape, sexual abuse and forcible touching. 
His next court date was set for June 17. 
On July 7, 2023, he was arrested for attacking a 21-year-old woman in Brooklyn near Broadway and Thomas S Boyland St.  just over a mile away from the cemetery where last month’s rape occurred. 
Vallejo followed the earlier victim  again while riding on his scooter  through Bushwick before threatening her and attempting to remove her skirt, cops said. 
The woman managed to break away from him and fled. 
Vallejo was arrested later that day and charged with attempted rape, unlawful imprisonment and sexual abuse. 
Police released Vallejo’s mugshot Friday in hopes that any other victims who may have been sexually assaulted by the suspect will come come forward.
