Albertville, AL (AHN) - Police say a 19-year-old man admitted that he raped his own mother in what authorities described as a shocking act of retaliation for a family dispute.
According to police, Gary Dean Helms, Jr. confessed that he sexually assaulted his 45-year-old mother on Oct. 26 at the Willow Terrace Trailer Park, following an argument with his brother about a girlfriend.
CNN.com reports that Helm's mother was passed out drunk on a sofa at the time of the rape. Sgt. Jamie Smith of the Albertville Police told CNN that the mother apparently woke up during the attack. A police report states that she “tried to get away, but he held her down until he was finished.”
Police were summoned to the home and Helms was placed under arrest. He was charged with first-degree rape.
Albertville is located in northeast Alabama and has a population of around 25,000 people.
Reacting to the attack, Sgt. Smith wondered how “someone could dip to the low to do something of this nature.” He called the crime, a “shock to the conscience of the general public.”
