A Madison County man who allegedly found victims through Backpage.com last week was indicted for the alleged sexual assaults of three women in Athens over a two-year period. Authorities said one of the assaults was the knifepoint rape of a woman at a motel near downtown Athens.
Garry Shane Chatham of Danielsville was charged with rape, aggravated sodomy, three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of criminal attempt to commit rape and felony violation of bond, according to an indictment filed last Tuesday in Clarke County Superior Court.
