A former Marine abducted, raped and tried to strangle a 23-year-old woman with her own scarf before leaving her for dead in a wooded area in February, the woman testified in court Tuesday.

She described the assault at the Arlington County Circuit Court trial of Jorge “George” Torrez, who is on trial for that attack and a separate robbery and attempted abduction that occurred in February in Ballston. Torrez is also implicated through DNA in the 2005 killings of two young girls near Chicago, but has not been charged in that case.
