NH police: Woman who posted ad kidnapped, raped

WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) — Police say a New York woman who posted a Craigslist ad seeking a fresh start in New England was held against her will for three days and raped by a New Hampshire man.

Forty-eight-year-old Jeffrey Gray is being arraigned on charges including kidnapping, rape, false imprisonment and simple assault. He is a member of the Salem, N.H., planning board.

Police say the woman reported earlier this month that Gray answered her ad. The woman told police that when she arrived at Gray’s Windham, N.H., home, he held her against her will and assaulted her over a period of three days.

Gray is being arraigned in Salem District Court. He was arrested in Brockton, Mass., Tuesday on a fugitive warrant.
