A St Ann barber was arrested and charged after he allegedly abducted and raped a woman between November 6 and November 7.
Forty-nine-year-old Willis James, of Enfield, St Ann, is charged with rape, abduction, grievous sexual assault and robbery with aggravation.
Reports indicate that about 8 a.m. on November 6, a woman was walking along the main road in Mount Olivet when James, who was driving a Toyota Fielder motor car, brandished a knife and told her to enter the vehicle.
It is alleged that James took the woman's phone before driving onto a lonely road where he proceeded to assault her.
On Thursday, November 7, James reportedly released the woman in Brown's Town.
A report was subsequently made to the police and an investigation was launched.
James was later arrested during the operation in Brown's Town and charged.
His court date is being finalised.
