Man charged with rape invited women to abandoned houses
Two women claim a man who invited them to what they thought was his home, were instead raped at gunpoint inside two abandoned houses in Raleigh.
Kenyon Johnson, 24, has been charged with two counts of aggravated rape.
According to the affidavit of complaint, a 25-year-old woman told police she met Johnson at a gas station on South Parkway and they exchanged phone numbers.
He called her the next day and asked her to meet him that night at his house on the 1900 block of Olive Bark Drive in Raleigh before his girlfriend got home from work. When she got to the house, he called again and told her to be quiet because his baby was sleeping.
When she walked in the house, Johnson put a gun to her side and raped her, the woman told police.
The second victim told police that on Aug. 25, she met Johnson on Beale Street and that they exchanged telephone numbers.
The 40-year-old victim said he called on Aug. 30 and told her to meet him at a house on the 1900 block of Olive Bark that night, also before his girlfriend got home.
When she got there, he called her and told her to be quiet because his baby was sleeping.
And when she walked in, he put a gun to her side and raped her, the affidavit said.
Fingerprints lifted from one of the houses on Olive Bark led to Johnson, who was interviewed by sex crimes investigators. Johnson waived his rights, according to the report and admitted to using abandoned houses on both nights where he had sex with the victims.
He is being held in the Shelby County jail and no bond has been set. Johnson will appear in General Sessions Court Division 15 on Thursday.
