Jefferson City man charged with several counts of rape

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Jefferson City man has been arrested and charged after he was accused of raping a woman several times in 2024.

Brendan Proctor, 21, was charged on Thursday in Cole County with first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape. He is being held at the Cole County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says the victim called police on Nov. 24 about three separate sexual assaults by Proctor. He allegedly raped the victim while she slept in May 2024 and was hit by him after she yelled at him to stop, court documents say.

Two similar incidents allegedly occurred in July and September the same year, but the victim did not fight back in fear of being struck by Proctor again, police wrote.

The victim called police after they left the state and felt safe enough to report the incidents, court documents say.

Police wrote that Proctor denied the allegations.
