The St. James police have charged a suspected serial rapist who was nabbed in the parish last week.

He is 24-year-old Odane Jackson of Norwood, St. James.

Jackson has been charged with assault at common law, assaulting a female, two counts of rape, two counts of robbery with aggravation and buggery. The charges are in relation to three separate cases.

Jackson was arrested on Friday, January 28 at Fairview, Montego Bay in St. James by a police team that went to investigate when they heard screams in the area.

He was later put on an identification parade and charged after being pointed out. His court date is being arranged.

The police note that investigation continues, as he remains a suspect in other cases committed in and around the Montego Bay area.
