Convicted sex offender charged with armed rape on West Side

EVERETT – A convicted sex offender is accused of attacking a woman at her Everett home and sexually assaulting her.

The Everett Daily Herald reported that Daniel Miltenberger of Everett was booked late Thursday into the Snohomish County Jail. He is being held on suspicion of first-degree rape, burglary and unlawful imprisonment.

Snohomish County detectives said Miltenberger was armed with a handgun when he forced his way into the home and raped the woman.
