According to court documents, Murray County sheriff’s deputies responded to the home after the alleged victim called 911. During that call, a man reportedly took the phone away from the person calling for help

The 28-year-old reportedly told deputies that he and the victim had recently broken up and he had entered the home using his spare key.

Martin told officials the victim was in the shower when he entered the home and he tried to engage in sexual intercourse with her, but she resisted. He then allegedly pinned her down to keep her from fighting back.

The victim told investigators that Martin allegedly used an object to penetrate her while holding her down by choking her. She said she thought she would pass out

Court documents say Martin then locked her in a closet, before letting her out after she calmed him down by saying they could get back together.
