It’s been almost three years since an alleged sexual assault in Prattville, but now a Selma man faces first-degree rape charges.
Harold Bates, 41 was arrested Thursday and brought to the Elmore County Jail.
“It was a 2021 incident involving someone he knew,” Prattville police chief Mark Thompson said. The case was indicted by an Elmore County Grand Jury in 2023, but Thompson said he couldn’t elaborate anymore on the case.
Bates posted a $100,000 bond and was released Thursday night.
