AKRON, Ohio - A 38-year-old Akron man is facing rape and other charges after allegedly sexually and physically assaulting a woman.

When officers arrived, a woman inside said she had been held against her will and raped by Maurice Moore, who ran out the back door.
Following a brief foot chase, officers caught up to Moore and arrested him.
Moore has been charged with rape, assault and other charges. He is currently behind bars in the Summit County Jail.
