   HOUSTON – A man has been charged after documents show he allegedly   
   kidnapped, drugged and raped a woman for several days.   
      
   The allegations against Donovan Eugene Belton listed in the charging documents   
   were highlighted in court on Sunday.   
      
   “You have two felony cases pending before the court, aggravated kidnapping,   
   which is a first-degree felony, and sexual assault, which is a second-degree   
   felony,” said Lori Botello, Criminal Law Hearing Officer.   
      
   The allegations stem from Aug. 27 when officials said a woman told them Belton   
   began abusing her at the Avalon at Gulfgate apartment complex on South Loop   
   East.   
      
   “Every day, she alleges she was sexually assaulted after you gave her pills   
   that made her fall asleep,” Botello stated during the hearing.   
      
   Belton is also accused of pimping the woman out during that time.   
      
   “It’s also alleged you had two friends come to the house who she saw paid   
   you money to sexually assault her,” Botello said.   
      
   During his appearance, Belton’s court-appointed attorney spoke on his behalf.   
      
   “My understanding is that she was here visiting from someplace else and was   
   staying temporarily with Mr. Belton,” his attorney said.   
      
   Residents who live in the Avalon at Gulfgate complex find the news shocking   
   and disturbing.   
      
   “It’s messed up because I got nieces, young and up in age, but no I   
   didn’t hear anything about that,” said resident, Darryl Jackson.   
      
   Belton has bonds for both the kidnapping and the assault charges set at   
   $50,000 each. He is currently still in jail.   
      
   If posted, he must stay away from the victim and her family.   
      
   Victim advocates recommend always sharing your location when visiting someone   
   and even scheduling check-ins.
