CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A Charlotte man has been indicted in a decades-old sexual assault case.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say on April 23, 1993, a woman was kidnapped and sexually assaulted by several men in the 400 block of Caldwell Street.
CMPD recently reopened the case and re-examined evidence and DNA, pointing to 51-year-old Antonio Gaines as a suspect.
Police say when they confirmed Gaines was a suspect, in January, he was being incarcerated in the Scotland County Correctional Center in a 2001 sexual assault.
Gaines was indicted this month on two counts of first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense, and attempted robbery.
Police say technology in 1993 put limitations on analyzing the evidence.
