For the second time in two weeks, a Middlesboro man has been arrested for rape.

Lee Roy Harris, 18, was charged with first-degree rape. He was arrested on Thursday around 8 p.m.

"This was another situation where they knew each other," said Middlesboro Police Chief Jeff Sharpe.

"We've collected quite a bit of physical evidence," he said. The evidence has been sent to Frankfort to the Kentucky State Police crime lab for analysis.

Last week David Curtis Mills, 43, of Middlesboro, was arrested and charged with first-degree rape for allegedly assaulting a teenager.

According to Sharpe, the number of rapes varies in Middlesboro from four to seven per year.

If convicted of the charge, Harris could face 20 years to life in prison.
