FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A Spring Lake man was arrested Wednesday in a brutal sexual assault that happened in Fayetteville nearly a decade ago, according to arrest warrants in the Cumberland County Magistrate’s Office.

Jonathan Sharod Maddox, 30, is accused of breaking into the Briar Circle home of a couple, who were sleeping, robbing them at gunpoint and raping the woman and forcing her, at gunpoint, to perform sexual acts on him and two other men. He was being held Wednesday under a $400,00 bond at the Fayetteville jail, authorities said.

Police said Maddox and two other men, who were not identified, randomly picked an apartment in the complex and broke into it, said Lt. John Somerindyke of the Fayetteville Police Department.

Authorities said the incident allegedly occurred around 1:50 a.m. on June 25, 2008, and police said the men had a semi-automatic handgun.

Maddox is also accused of stealing electronics, valued at $4,729, from the couple, as well as a debit card.

He is charged with 12 counts of conspiring with the two unidentified men to kidnap, rape and sexually assault the woman; two counts each of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree forced sex offense and conspiring to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon; and one count each of first-degree rape, first-degree burglary, robbery with a dangerous weapon and financial card theft.

It was not immediately clear how police connected the suspect to the crime.
