ALABAMA – According to the court documents, his name is Timothy Dewayne Potts and he faces 15 to 25 years in prison.
The 48-year-old man will be sentenced next month by Judge Bobby Carter for aggravated rape.
This unfortunate incident occurred around 4 a.m. on Dec. 8, 1998, when a man broke into the 27-year-old woman’s apartment near Lamar Avenue and Winchester Road.
The woman said the man beat her with a pistol and also threatened to shoot her 4-year-old son who walked into the room.
She was taken to the Rape Crisis Center where a sexual assault kit was put together, but was not sent for testing until 2017.
When a DNA sample from the kit was entered into the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System or CODIS, a positive match identified Potts as the assailant.
