Deputies investigating 2 similar incidents A Fayette man has been arrested in connection with the assault of a prostitute early Monday morning, according to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office. Gerald Copeland, 48, a former 20-year veteran of the Fulton County Police Department is charged with aggravated sexual battery, battery and false imprisonment, sheriff’s officials said. The investigation began when a motorist saw a partially clothed woman with no shoes walking in an undeveloped subdivision early Monday morning, officials said. The victim was able to describe the suspect and the suspect’s vehicle, and evidence left at the scene also led investigators to Copeland, officials said. Sheriff’s detectives are also investigating two similar cases in which prostitutes were picked up in Atlanta, brought to Fayette County and sexually assaulted. In all three cases the victims were beaten and then abandoned in north Fayette County, officials said. login to post comments![]() |
