GONZALES — An Ascension Parish grand jury indicted two men on sex-related charges in separate cases, said Tony Falterman, district attorney of the 23rd Judicial District.

Jerome Williams, 47, of Prairieville, was indicted on aggravated rape, second-degree kidnapping and second-degree robbery.

The indictment stems from an investigation by the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office in a May incident when Williams allegedly attacked a pizza delivery woman, Falterman said in a news release Monday.

The investigating detective and the victim testified during the grand jury proceedings, Falterman said.

Williams is being held at the Avoyelles Marksville Detention Center with his bond set at $225,000, the district attorney said.

In a second, unrelated indictment, Charles McCoy, 73, of Amite, was indicted on two counts of aggravated incest and two counts of aggravated rape. The incidents allegedly occurred over the past seven years, Falterman said, beginning in Ascension Parish and continuing in Tangipahoa and St. Helena parishes.

Assistant District Attorney Tonya B. Clark conducted the grand jury proceedings on Sept. 29 with state District Judge Ralph Tureau presiding.
