The man whose rape case led to the firing of a Chattanooga detective is accused of rape again – by the same alleged victim.
Fort Oglethorpe police issued warrants for James Leon Works Jr. on Thursday amid charges he kidnapped the woman inside the home of one of his family members. He is facing two counts of rape, eight counts of aggravated sodomy, one count of aggravated assault, one count of false imprisonment and one count of terroristic threats and acts.
Lt. Steve Blevins said Monday afternoon officers had not yet found Works.
This is the second time in two years the woman has accused of Works of kidnapping and raping her. In May 2014, she said Works – a childhood friend – kept her in a Chattanooga motel room for several days.
During the investigation into that case, she said, Chattanooga detective Karl Fields tried to have sex with her. She said he pulled her into the bathroom of a Mexican restaurant while the two were supposed to be discussing her case. A man who identified himself as Fields also asked her in a text message for naked pictures – and that he was watching her from outside her home.
