A 25-year-old sexual assault cold case was solved after the DNA of a South Jersey man arrested for driving without a license connected him to the crime.
Police arrested Pennsauken resident Rodolfo Vasquez in Burlington for driving without a license in 2019. His guilty plea required him to submit a DNA sample, which led to a match in an unsolved 1997 home invasion and sexual assault case in Mount Laurel.
The Burlington County prosecutor’s office says a judge sentenced Vasquez to eight years in prison for the sexual assault.
