KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) People in Kokomo are on edge following the arrest of an 80-year-old on rape charges.
A woman told police it happened Sunday night on Lafountain Street.
According to Kokomo police the woman went to the mans house to sell him a tablet. Its not clear how this transaction was initiated, but police say it didnt originate online.
The 29-year-old woman says she was held against her will at gunpoint.
Police arrested William Graham for rape, armed robbery and confinement.
24-Hour News 8 was able to speak with the mans brother, who says this is out of character for him.
I worry about my grandkids and my nephews kids they play out here all the time, said Jim Cummings, who lives nearby. Makes you wonder what goes on inside the rest of the houses around here.
The woman called police just before 6 a.m. Monday. After a five-hour stand off with Kokomo police and SWAT, Graham surrendered without incident.
He moved in here a few months ago. And I didnt think wed have that kind of trouble out of him, said Cummings.
Also arrested was 56-year-old Robert Meriwether. He was in the house during the standoff. Police havent connected him with the rape case. Hes charged with failure to appear on a warrant.
We really have to keep our children close and keep an eye on whats going on because you never know your neighbor could be a molester or a rapist or a murderer, so you have to be careful out here, said Antonio Wiley, who lives nearby.
Medics took the woman to an Indianapolis hospital. She suffered minor injuries.
Officials havent yet released the probable cause for Grahams arrest.
I reckon he’d already had a tablet...or three.
I don’t think he can get it up anywhere..
"Watch it sucka!"
If he didn’t have a gun, I think I could take him.... (meaning escape the rape)
Sex at my age is like shooting pool with a rope

My favorite Groucho quote: “You’re only as old as the woman you’re feeling.”
Seriously, does he have HIV?
But they have treatment for that now.
What the hell is wrong with him?
some of the antiparkinson drugs have sexual predation issues as a side effect
Somebody needs to dig into this guy’s missing neighbors from when he was an adult and middle age. Predators don’t start raping when they are in their 80s.

Two men, 80-year-old William Graham and 56-year-old Robert Meriwether, Sr. have been arrested. Graham faces preliminary charges of rape, confinement and armed robbery. Meriwether was arrested for body attachment and a failure to appear warrant.
What’s body attachment?
Sometimes it does.
Hypersexuality with dementia and poor judgment leads to real crime.
Well he’s dangerous now.
absolutely

Old guy goes to Doctor and says
“Doc, every morning at 4 I have to pee and at 7 I do a #2. Never fails, like clockwork”
Doc-”Well at your age that is great. Younger people wish for such regularity”
OG-”Maybe so BUT you are the SOB that told me to stay in bed till 8”.
Always meet in a public place when you’re buying and selling to avoid crime and buyer’s/seller’s remorse.
LOL

“Order to arrest for contempt of court. No show.”
