NEW ORLEANS — Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office announced the indictment of a man in connection with a rape case from 30 years ago.

According to the DA’s office, the rape happened at about 4:30 in the morning on May 29, 1988, in the 900 block of Pine Street. Prosecutors say an 18-year-old woman was sleeping when the attacker entered the home through a window. They say the man demanded money, and when the woman said she didn’t have any, he ordered her to undress then attacked her.

The suspect is identified as 47-year-old Dwayne Lewis who is currently serving time at the Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield. Prosecutors say Lewis was serving a 50 year sentence for a 1989 conviction on attempted rape and attempted burglary charges. They say Lewis was released in 2014 but had his parole was revoked because he failed to register as a sex offender after moving to Arkansas.
