KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD — A 60-year-old Memphis, Tennessee, man charged with raping a woman at knifepoint in western Michigan in 2008 was recently acquitted on all counts, according to Kalamazoo Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Scott Brower.
Calvin Kelly was charged in 2014 with kidnapping, three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of attempted criminal sexual conduct. A Kalamazoo jury acquitted him last Thursday.
Kelly was initially arrested in Tennessee and was extradited back to Michigan to face the charges.
The charges stem from an incident on April 8, 2008 in which a woman ran across US-131 and flagged down an officer with the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, saying she had been repeatedly raped at knifepoint. Her assailant was unknown.
