SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse man is facing three different felony charges after police say he kidnapped a woman and kept her inside his apartment for over a week.

Anthony R. Crawford

Anthony R. Crawford, 37, raped the woman daily, beat her and strangled her, the Syracuse Police Department stated in a felony complaint filed against him.

Police said Crawford kept the woman in the bedroom of his apartment at 1008 N. Townsend St. and would not let her leave for 10 days, police said in the court records. She was trapped there from Oct. 6 to Oct. 15, police said.

Crawford knew the woman, but they did not have a domestic relationship, said Sgt. Richard Helterline, a Syracuse police spokesman.

Crawford was arrested and booked into Onondaga County jail on Tuesday, according to jail inmate records.

Crawford took and dismantled the woman's cellphone and punched her in the face and body on three different occasions, police said. She felt dizzy, had swollen and bleeding eyes, bruising across most of her face and neck and had trouble breathing after being kicked repeatedly in the ribs, police said.

He asked the woman to have sex with him, but she said she did not want to, police said in a felony complaint filed in court. Crawford then told the woman "one hand washes the other," making her afraid he would continue to beat her if she did not comply, the complaint states.

Crawford raped the woman every day she was held in the apartment, police stated.

A caseworker for Catholic Charities saw the woman in the apartment, but Crawford closed the door to the bedroom before the woman could ask for help, according to police. The woman was eventually able to escape and sought help at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center, police said.

Crawford was charged with third-degree rape, a felony; second-degree kidnapping, a felony; second-degree strangulation, a felony; and third-degree assault, a misdemeanor.

He is currently being held in Onondaga County jail without bail. He is scheduled to reappear in Syracuse City Court on Monday.
