Investigators with the Kannapolis Police Department have arrested a second suspect for the rape of a Kannapolis woman which occurred on May 31.
Rodney Wayne Liverman Sr., of Norwood, was arrested on Friday June 12, 2009 at approximately 5:40 p.m. by Kannapolis Police investigators.
Liverman was at his home and was arrested without incident with the assistance of the Stanly County Sheriff's Department.
The sexual assault occurred on May 31, 2009 when a black male entered the victim's bedroom and demanded money and sex.
Investigators later discovered the victim's husband had arranged the assault through Craigslist without the consent of his wife.
Liverman was identified as a suspect after investigators received information from the U.S. Secret Service, Craigslist, and other internet providers.
The documentation provided by the internet providers and the information retrieved by the Secret Service led to the arrest.
The U.S. Secret Service was an invaluable asset in this investigation.
They were able to retrieve all of the information needed to successfully identify the suspect.
Liverman is currently incarcerated in the Cabarrus County Jail under a $250,000 secured bond awaiting his first appearance on June 15.
