One of the women whom he raped six times also alleged he threatened her with a gun. US. Marshals took him into custody, charged with the federal crimes. He was charged with ten misdemeanor counts of violating their civil rights. Prosecutors said the charges are misdemeanors because federal law requires serious bodily injury for a civil rights violation to be a felony. Why is rape not considered a serious bodily injury?
