   PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) - A 69-year-old man is facing charges after police say   
   he held a woman against her will and sexually assaulted her for multiple days   
   in her Portland home.   
      
   Police say the 74-year-old victim was returning home from the grocery store on   
   Dec. 23 when she stopped to rest due to the weight of her grocery bags when a   
   man, later identified as Kenneth Gregory Williams, approached her and offered   
   to help. Williams    
   carried the victim’s grocery bags to her home, where police say he   
   barricaded the door from inside and prevented her from leaving.   
      
   According to police, the victim reported that between Dec. 23 and Dec. 25,   
   Williams sexually assaulted her multiple times. She was able to convince him   
   to leave on Dec. 26, after which she went to a hospital for treatment.   
      
   Detectives were able to identify the suspect as Williams, who was located and   
   arrested on Sunday, Jan. 5.   
      
   Williams was booked into the Multnomah County jail for three counts of   
   first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping, first-degree coercion, and   
   first-degree burglary.   
      
   Williams pled not guilty to the charges on Monday and will be arraigned on the   
   indictment on Jan. 14 at 9:30 a.m.   
      
   Police say Sex Crimes Unit detectives are also investigating Williams for rape   
   allegations in a different case.   
      
   “These cases are incredibly rare but of course they can happen. We can’t   
   imagine what this woman went through. It’s horrifying, terrifying, you name   
   it. That’s why we worked quickly and diligently to get her the help she   
   needed,” said a PPB    
   spokesperson.   
      
   Resident, Tabitha Peterson, said her family has been victims of sexual   
   assaults in the community and that keeping your guard up is vital, especially   
   when moving alone downtown.   
      
   “I try not be alone at night, I bring my dog with me, and I carry mace,”   
   Peterson said. “Mace is very important because you never know nowadays.”   
      
   Peterson, who often walks with her dog, Bella, said people understanding   
   what’s happening around them could help avoid similar types of situations.   
      
   “I’m overly aware of my surroundings sometimes,” Peterson said.   
   “It’s better to be safe than sorry because I’ve been followed before and   
   almost kidnapped once.”   
      
   Detectives believe there could be additional unreported cases involving   
   Williams. Anyone with information about him or this case should contact   
   Detective Michael Bledsoe at michael.bledsoe@police.portlandoregon.gov and   
   reference case number 24-332946.   
      
   According to court records, Williams was arrested for misdemeanor harassment   
   and menacing in June 2024. He also arrested in 2008 for coercion and tampering   
   with a witness.   
      
   Between 1994 and 2008, he had multiple drug-related, robbery and/or   
   misdemeanor crimes arrests.
