Jackson man accused of raping, assaulting, ex-girlfriend

A 31-year-old Jackson man faces felony charges for allegedly raping, assaulting, and sodomizing a former girlfriend while he held her against her will in her mobile home.

Daniel S. Reid was charged Thursday with forcible rape, forcible sodomy, felonious restraint and first-degree assault. Cape Girardeau County Associate Circuit Judge Gary A. Kamp set bond for Reid at $100,000 cash-only, on the conditions that he avoid all contact with the victim. On April 14, Reid attempted to strangle the woman, punched her in the face with a closed fist and used a cigarette to cause numerous burns to her face, hands, and body, according to a probable cause statement written and signed by detective Debi Oliver of the Cape Girardeau police department.

He then took away the victim's keys and cell phone, keeping her captive in his trailer for a substantial period of time, the statement said.

While they were alone in the mobile home, Reid allegedly raped and sodomized the victim. She had previously changed her phone number and moved to get away from an abusive relationship with Reid, the statement said.

She had given him permission to come to her residence because he'd said he wanted to talk to her, and he threatened her when she told him she would not rekindle their relationship, the statement said.

She stated that she was fearful Reid would hurt her child if she left the residence.
