An illegal immigrant accused of serial rape and tied to as many as 17 victims in Nevada has withdrawn a plea deal, forcing prosecutors to reinstate multiple charges. 

Mexican national, Carlos Nava, 49, is now facing trial in Las Vegas on accusations of violent sexual assaults spanning nearly two decades.

He also repeatedly re-entered the U.S. illegally despite being deported at least eight times since 2002. 

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) previously confirmed to 8 News Now this was despite prior removals and arrests for battery and domestic violence. He was last deported in 2020.

Barker also said Las Vegas Metropolitan police found 17 pairs of underwear “that were folded, kept in a backpack, which also had latex gloves in it and tied up with a rubber band.”

According to a court docket obtained by Fox News Digital, Nava had been facing a string of charges dating back to 2010. 

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department documents also show officers were looking for additional assault victims in 2022 and after one incident, Nava was spotted in a white ford truck.

Nava remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. A new trial date is expected to be scheduled after his next court appearance on Oct. 9.
