   Three other women are accused of restraining her during the   
   assault.   
      
   A 39-year-old predatory offender living in a Twin Cities suburb   
   repeatedly raped and assaulted a 21-year-old woman in a   
   townhouse basement as three other women helped restrain her,   
   according to charges.   
      
   Lawson T. Waples Ward, of Forest Lake, was charged in Washington   
   County District Court with two counts of first-degree criminal   
   sexual conduct in connection with the assaults over a two-hour   
   period at the home in the 21000 block of Bridle Pass Drive.   
      
   Waples Ward and his alleged accomplices were all arrested Dec.   
   20 at the home. He was released a few days later in lieu of   
   $20,000 bail. The County Attorney's Office said the three women,   
   ages, 27, 29 and 51, could be charged this week. The Star   
   Tribune generally does not identify suspects before they are   
   charged.   
      
   Waples Ward is due back in court on Thursday. Court records do   
   not list an attorney for him, and contact information was not   
   immediately available Monday afternoon.   
      
   On Friday, prosecutors asked the court to have Waples Ward   
   jailed again, this time in lieu of $750,000 bail. They cited,   
   among other things, that he is a "noncompliant predatory   
   offender" from New Jersey.   
      
   His criminal history in New Jersey includes at least one   
   conviction for a sex offense, illegal weapons possession and   
   robbery.   
      
   According to the criminal complaint: The 21-year-old woman told   
   police that she visited Waples Ward's home on Nov. 16, and he   
   began engaging in sexual activity with her in the basement.   
   Although she was uncomfortable, she said she did not tell him no.   
      
   The three women soon entered the basement. The 21-year-old said   
   she was uncomfortable with the activity while the others were   
   present and wanted the interaction to stop.   
      
   Instead, the three women held the young woman by her arms and   
   legs while Waples Ward assaulted her as she screamed for him to   
   stop. Waples Ward hit her with his hand and a paddle before one   
   of his accomplices continued the sexual assault.   
      
   At one point, Waples Ward "asked her who her master was," the   
   complaint read.   
      
   The 21-year-old said that Waples Ward enjoyed sexual bondage and   
   sadomasochism, and that he considered his three accomplices to   
   be his girlfriends. She said she did not enjoy those forms of   
   sex.
