Anthony Ingram, 32, was sentenced today for kidnapping and
sexually assaulting an Alabama woman.
United States District Judge Sara Lioi sentenced Ingram to 30 years in
prison followed by five years of supervised release. A jury previously convicted Ingram after a
week-long trial in October.
According to court records and evidence presented at trial:
Ingram worked for a cross-country trucking company. On August 10, 2018, Ingram, while in
Michigan, offered to transport an Alabama woman to Indiana so she could
retrieve her vehicle. Unbeknownst to the
woman, Ingram had no intention of taking her to Indiana. Instead, Ingram drove the woman into Ohio and
repeatedly ignored her pleas to be released from the truck. Hours later, Ingram pulled the truck over on
the Ohio Highway near Hudson, Ohio, where he forced the woman into the rear of
the cab, struck her in the face, threatened her with a weapon and sexually
assaulted her. After the attack, Ingram
continued driving into Pennsylvania.
Ingram stopped at a rest stop along the Pennsylvania highway, at which
time the woman was able to escape and call for help. Ingram fled and was arrested hours later in
Pennsylvania.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ohio State
Highway Patrol investigated the case, with assistance from the Beaver Township
Police Department, Pennsylvania State Police, and the Summit County
Prosecutor’s Office. The case was
prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Peter Daly and Aaron Howell.
