"Police said the woman was sitting on the porch of her north Charlotte apartment Wednesday evening when 16-year-old Robert McFadden forced her inside and raped her. A large group of the victim’s family members was in court Friday for McFadden’s first appearance. “My mother is a fragile little 88-pound woman, so I can just about imagine the horror that she felt,” Catherine Jiminez said. In March, McFadden was charged with assaulting a 72-year-old woman about a mile from his home. He was initially scheduled to appear in court Friday on those charges. Police said the woman who was raped Wednesday also lives near McFadden." - 9 News
