Kendal Guerin Chaves, 34, of Lerose Court, was indicted by a Cobb grand jury last week on one count of aggravated sodomy, one count of aggravated assault, one count of first degree burglary and one count of battery.

He was charged by Cobb Police on Feb. 10, two days after a woman living on Colony Drive, off Little Willeo Road, said a man knocked on a window in the morning and attacked her after she answered the door.

According to the indictment, Chaves gained unlawful entry into the home, committed anal rape against the victim, choked her and caused bruises to her neck, face and arms.

Chaves was booked into the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond, according to jail records.

He also was charged with DUI, a misdemeanor, at the same time. Chaves pleaded guilty in late January to a cocaine possession charge and had been sentenced to three years’ probation, according to court records.

The court records further show that his probation was revoked due to the DUI charge, and on March 26, Chaves was resentenced to serve two years.

According to Cobb jail records, Chaves was released to the custody of the Georgia Department of Corrections on April 11.
