DOUBLE-AMPUTEE FACES CHARGES IN TWO RAPES

A grand jury will next month consider charges against a double-amputee accused of assaulting an elderly woman and her blind, mentally retarded roommate in a Richmond adult home.

Two charges of rape and one of sodomy against Samuel Crocker, 21, certified to Circuit Court on Monday.

Crocker and the two victims were residents of Carytown Manor Adult Home when the attacks allegedly occurred early Feb. 26.

The blind victim identified Crocker through a thick, 3-foot long hair weave that hangs over his shoulder.
