Man on business trip rapes and chokes woman in Twin Cities hotel

A man traveling on business raped and choked a woman in his Twin Cities hotel room to the point she feared for her life, according to charges.

Jimmy J. Hortiz, of The Dalles, Ore., was charged last week in Hennepin County District Court with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and third-degree assault in connection with the attack in the early hours of Nov. 30 in the Double Tree Hotel in Bloomington.
