COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) A Jefferson City man has been arrested and charged after he was accused of raping a woman several times in 2024. Brendan Proctor, 21, was charged on Thursday in Cole County with first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape. He is being held at the Cole County Ja il without bond.
