GRAND JURY INDICTS MAN ON SEX CHARGES

A grand jury indicted a Bedford County man this week on charges of raping and sodomizing a Campbell County woman.

Alfonza "Rabbit" Calloway, 40, is to stand trial April 11 in Bedford County Circuit Court.

Bedford County Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Krantz said the alleged rape victim told authorities that Calloway was one of two men who came to her house to repair her car last October.

She said she gave Calloway a ride home after the repairs were finished. He forced her out of the car and into his house, where the alleged attack took place, Krantz said.

Calloway has admitted having sex with the woman, Krantz said, but denies that he coerced her into it.

Calloway has two previous rape convictions in Bedford County. If convicted of the new charges, he could face life in prison.
