A Cedartown man has been arrested on multiple felony charges after authorities say he broke into a home on East 14th Street and sexually assaulted the resident. According to arrest reports, Jeremiah Jahkeem Erie Stanley, 26, entered the residence with the intent to commit a burglary. When the resident attempted to flee, Stanley allegedly grabbed her and forced her back inside the home, preventing her from leaving.
Authorities say Stanley then removed the victim’s clothing, exposing her genital area. Reports state that he then proceeded to sexually assault the woman.
Investigators further allege that Stanley used a razor blade to cut the victim’s forehead while attempting to shave her head bald.
Stanley was charged with first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, sexual battery, and battery. The case remains under investigation.
