Madison police arrested a man March 15 after he allegedly held a 46-year-old woman captive and raped her with the help of a friend at his West Mifflin Street residence.
The suspect, 54-year-old James Graham, is currently being held at the Dane County Jail and has been tentatively charged with first-degree sexual assault.
According to a search warrant obtained by the Wisconsin State Journal, Graham allegedly beat the woman at his apartment and took turns raping her with a friend over a three-day period.
The WSJ said the woman told police she met Graham and his friend on March 11 and went back to Graham's apartment with them.
Graham's residence, 441 W. Mifflin St., is owned by Madison Development Corporation. MDC leases Graham's unit to Housing Initiatives, which provide housing services to the homeless and to residents with special needs.
The woman told police that once she was inside the residence, Graham's friend held her arms down while Graham punched her in the face and told her to undress.
In the warrant, the woman said the two men took turns holding her down and assaulting her.
The victim also said she was not allowed to leave the apartment for three days and was told she would be killed if she left or said anything.
The woman told police Graham kept a 12-inch knife with him and forced her into a closet if anyone came into the apartment.
