A 39-year-old convicted sex offender accused of sexually assaulting a University of Virginia student in February may face 40 years in prison for the incident.

Christopher Allen Noakes pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of forcible sodomy. Charlottesville police were called Feb. 21 to the 1600 block of Grady Avenue for a report of a sexual assault. A friend who had been on the phone with the victim before she was attacked reported the incident in real time to 911 dispatchers, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Katherine J. Peters said in court.

Under the plea agreement accepted by Circuit Court Judge Edward L. Hogshire, Noakes’s indictments for abduction with intent to defile, intent to rape and robbery will not be prosecuted. Noakes faces a 40-year prison term. A Charlottesville judge will decide in August whether Noakes will be sentenced to additional suspended time.

Noakes is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 21, which was supposed to be the first day of his trial on the charges in Charlottesville Circuit Court.

Michael Wayne Ingram – Repeat Sex Offender

“25% of all sex offenders re-offend within 15 years”
………Sarah Tofte

A convicted child rapist and registered sex offender has been indicted by a Davidson County grand jury on more than 40 counts, including rape of a child.

Michael Wayne Ingram, who was convicted of raping a boy in 1991, was indicted on three counts of rape of a child and a slew of other charges, including aggravated sexual battery, attempted statutory rape, reckless endangerment, driving under the influence and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The crimes Ingram is accused of were committed between August and November, according to the indictment.

Police arrested Ingram on Stewarts Ferry Pike in the early morning hours of Dec. 8, 2007. He is accused of being drunk and driving around with five boys, ages 12 to 13.

Police said he might have met one of the boys through a MySpace page on the Internet.

The boys were having a sleepover when Ingram, the report said, called and asked to meet them for the evening.

When patrol officers stopped Ingram, he was so intoxicated he could barely stand, and officers were unable to give him a series of field-sobriety tasks, the report said.
