Killeen man sentenced to 25 years in prison for raping homeless woman | Crime

He was booked into the Bell County Jail on August 20, 2020, and was being held without bond on Tuesday on a charge of aggravated assault. He was charged on June 9, 2021.

On July 26, 2020, KPD officers were dispatched to a downtown restaurant for a report of a sexual assault.

“Officers arrived and encountered a female … who told officers she was homeless and a black male came to her tent in the alley behind a convenience store,” an arrest affidavit said.

He told the woman that he was a security guard and that a vehicle had recently been vandalized.

“The man advised her to stay seated and walked away,” the affidavit said. “The victim thought he was gone and was walking around the parking lot when the man approached her again, in a white truck. The man told her to get in the car and if she didn’t, she would be arrested for evading. The victim got into the truck and the man drove her back behind the building to her tent and began sexually assaulting her.”

Police say she was able to get away and run away.

“The male caught up with her in a nearby field, tackled her and began choking her to the point where she could no longer breathe…” the affidavit said.

After using a machete to threaten the woman, the man sexually assaulted her again. Police said physical evidence found at the scene and in Campbell’s white truck corroborated the woman’s story.
