A woman was walking near the intersection of South C and Person streets on Aug. 8, 2011, when a man grabbed her, forced her behind a nearby business and raped her, police said.
The Fayetteville Police Department’s Cold Case Sexual Assault Unit reopened the case and had the sex assault kit tested for DNA at an FBI lab.
Willie Pearl Mack, 57, of the 100 block of Hammond Street, was charged with second-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping in the case.
Mack has been in the Cumberland County jail for more than a year on charges of first-degree forcible rape, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, two counts of first-degree forcible sex offense and possession of a firearm by a felon. The charges stemmed from an August 2016 sex assault and a separate incident in November 2016.
The latest charges increase his bond from $500,000 to $700,000.
