A United Nations diplomat who was arrested in New York City on suspicion of raping one of his neighbors has been released without charge because of his diplomatic immunity.

Charles Dickens Imene Oliha, 46, is a career diplomat for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

On Sunday, he was arrested after a neighbor in his apartment building in Washington Heights called police claiming he had raped her inside their apartment building.

According to a police report, Oliha and the woman were in the elevator together in the building when he announced he was coming upstairs.

She replied ‘no you’re not’, but claims he followed her into her apartment where he allegedly raped her twice – once with a condom, and once without.

Oliha was arrested and questioned by police but once detectives from the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit learned of his immunity, he was released without charge
