Baltimore City Police are charging a West Baltimore man with rape and several other offenses after investigators say he threatened and sexually assaulted his live in girlfriend.
The incident occurred Saturday afternoon around 3:30.
Police say 55-year-old Lenny Epps refused to allow the 36-year-old victim to leave the home, but she eventually escaped by climbing onto the roof of the house and then jumping to the ground.
Epps then barricaded himself inside the home in the 2700-block of Baker Street, before he surrendered peacefully after more than six hours.
The victim was taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
Epps is also charged with involuntary detention and several assault and weapons related charges.
He is being held in Central Booking.
