Dec 19, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A 65-year-old Raytown, Missouri man was sentenced this week for a 2019 sexual assault incident that happened in Kansas City.
Jackson County Judge Charles H. McKenzie on Wednesday sentenced Warren Carter to seven years in prison after he was found guilty by a jury in September of one count of second-degree rape.
Carter had previously been charged with forcible sodomy, forcible rape, two counts of first-degree kidnapping, three counts of first degree sodomy and two counts of first-degree rape, but was found not guilty on those charges.
Court documents say Carter has targeted and assaulted women in Kansas City, with alleged attacks happening in July 2012, May 2017, and October and December 2019.

Carter would offer the women a ride or forcing them into his vehicle with a firearm, according to court records. He would then drive to a secluded area and assault the women, prosecutors say.
Charging documents say Carter is missing his right leg, and that suspect description helped investigators link him to several of the alleged assaults. Prosecutors say there is also DNA evidence linking him to two of the assaults.
The victim in a December 2019 assault said Carter approached her at a gas station at Truman Road and the Paseo, offering her a ride.
