Police in Decin accuse 48-year-old man of repeated rape
A court ordered his pre-trial detention after prosecutors sought the move.
Decin police have charged a 48-year-old man with repeated rape of a woman over a longer period.
Investigators say the suspect allegedly forced himself on the woman against her will multiple times, using her vulnerability and limited ability to resist.
Police detained the man and launched criminal proceedings. Prosecutors later asked a court to place him in pre-trial detention, and the court granted the request.
If convicted of the charge of rape as a particularly serious offence under Section 185 of the Criminal Code, the man faces a prison term of up to 12 years.
The case is now being handled by the courts while the investigation continues.
