Macon County man accused of raping woman

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Macon County, man was charged with a felony and two misdemeanors after authorities allege that he raped a woman on Saturday.

Cameron Hunter, 18, of Bevier, Missouri, was charged Tuesday in Macon County with first-degree rape and two misdemeanors: second-degree sexual abuse and third-degree kidnapping. He is being held at the Macon County Jail without bond, according to a press release from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. A mugshot was not immediately available.

The probable cause statement says that the victim arrived at Hunter’s residence for a bonfire on Saturday with several people. The alleged victim walked into the residence, didn’t see anyone and went back outside to ask for help finding people at the home, the statement says.

The victim and a man found Hunter laying on his bed and the man left after Hunter told him to sleep on the couch, the statement says. Hunter then allegedly raped the victim while she told him to stop, the statement says.

The victim at one point was able to slip away from Hunter during the assault and contacted someone to get her, the statement says.
