Rape, Sodomy Suspect Held Without Bond, “Still A Danger To Victim”


A St Joseph man charged with statutory rape and sodomy is being held without bond after a judge ruled he was still a danger to the victim.

Andrew Franklin Powell was scheduled for arraignment Friday on two counts of statutory rape and one count of statutory sodomy. 

Both charges are Class-C felonies.

Powell is accused of knowingly having sex with a victim under the age of 17 between November 2009 and November of this year.  In at least one of the instances, prosecutors say the victim was thrown across the room.
