MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Midtown residents were shocked to learn a woman was kidnapped, raped, and held for eight hours Wednesday morning while walking on Angelus Street, but this wasn't the only rape in Midtown this month.

“This morning was the first time I heard about a rape going on around here,” said resident Tyrone Brown.

But Memphis Police took a report about a rape in the 1700 block of Madison on June 1.

Days later on June 6, police said a woman was raped by an ex-boyfriend near Madison and McLean.

That same day, a man was sodomized at the corner of Monroe and South Avalon.

He told police he couldn’t remember what his attacker looked like because he was high on crack cocaine and alcohol at the time.

On June 7, police said a woman was raped on the 100 block of Belvedere.

“I have good tenants and they try to keep a good watch out,” said Jay Beeson, a Midtown landlord.

“That’s one of the most heinous crimes you can commit beside murder, rape. Why take something when you can just go out to a club or something and meet a female friend?” said Brown.

Police have arrested 25-year-old Marquis Lewis for Wednesday’s rape.

The other four rapes are still under investigation and no arrests have been made.
