Charles County man raped, beat house cleaner at gunpoint for hours, Sheriff's Office says
CHARLES COUNTY, Md. - The Charles County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shocking case of kidnap and rape that left the victim with multiple injuries, including a possible fractured jaw.
According to detectives, 29-year-old Jordan Keith Proctor has been charged with rape, false imprisonment, use of a firearm and other violent crimes after holding a housekeeper hostage in a home and sexually assaulting her.
Police say they responded to a home in the 7300 block of Tottenham Drive in White Plains just before 7:30 p.m. Police say the victim, a house cleaner, was inside the home when Proctor, who lives there, approached her and pulled out a gun before threatening to shoot her and putting her in handcuffs.
The victim told police that Proctor had sexually assaulted the woman and beat her repeatedly over the course of several hours.
The account from investigators goes on to state that Proctor eventually forced the victim to shower, which is when she was able to flee. She then contacted police, who said that when they arrived at Proctor’s home, he barricaded himself and refused to come out before eventually relenting after a brief standoff.

After obtaining a search warrant, investigators found several pieces of evidence, including a firearm. Investigators said Proctor would later deny "raping, assaulting, and having sex with the victim."
The victim was taken to an area hospital where she was treated for multiple injuries, including a possible fractured jaw.
On Aug. 12, Proctor was released from the Charles County Detention Center after a judge ordered he could be released on electronic monitoring, despite objections from prosecutors.
Attempts to reach both Proctor and his attorney were not immediately successful.
Reached for comment, the State’s Attorney’s Office for Charles County sent Fox 5 the following statement: "Citizens should know that at Proctor’s bond hearing, the State’s Attorney’s Office adamantly opposed Proctor’s pre-trial release. In fact, the State argued that he should be held without bond pending trial. The Court, however, decided otherwise and ordered the Defendant could be released on Electronic Monitoring."
The investigation is ongoing. Proctor is expected back in court next month.
