The victim told police last week she woke up in bed to her husband’s persistent efforts to have sex, which continued despite her repeated efforts to get him to stop. In court documents, police say the man stopped his efforts when he finally saw her face.
He allegedly told his mother that he thought he’d raped his wife, according to court documents.
The suspect, Matthew Jackman has posted bail awaiting a hearing September 29. Among the conditions of bail are a requirement that the defendant seek a mental health evaluation. The judge ordered him to have no contact with the victim, and not to be at their residence.
Jackman is charged with 2nd Degree Rape, a Class-C felony which carries a maximum prison term of seven years upon conviction.
