EAST NAPLES, Fla. - The Collier County Sheriff's Office is investigating a report of an attempted rape of an elderly woman.

Deputies say the 76-year-old woman out-smarted the attacker with her quick-thinking.

The woman says she had just gotten out of the shower, when a man pulled a blouse over her head and tried to raping the woman.

The woman, who we are not naming, lives on the 700 block of Charlemagne Boulevard in east Naples.

The sheriff’s office says the woman was getting out of the shower, when the attacker entered from an open window, forced the 76-year-old to the floor, bound her hands, covered her eyes and tried raping her. She told the man, she had just activated her life alert bracelet and police were on the way!

The sheriff’s office doesn't have a good description of the man because the victim’s eyes were covered most of the time. The victim tells us she thinks he had dark skin and stands about 5 feet 11 inches tall.
