A 38-year-old man has been charged with raping three adolescent girls and is being held without bail at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center in Annapolis.
County police have charged Melvin Rio Robinson, of no fixed address, with one count of first-degree rape, two counts of second-degree rape, four counts of second-degree assault, one count of false imprisonment and one count of kidnapping.
The girls, ages 14, 15 and 16, are from the Odenton area, and the incidents occurred over the past five months, said Officer Charles Ravenell, a county police spokesman.
