KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Calvin Kelly's rape case is heading to circuit court.
Wednesday afternoon, the 57-year-old appeared in court for his preliminary hearing. His alleged victim testified against him.
Kelly is accused of sexually assaulting a woman several times in one night in 2008. The Michigan Attorney General's Office said Kelly's DNA has also been linked to nine other rapes in Missouri, Virginia and Tennessee. These sexual assaults are said to have occurred between 1985 and 2010.
The victim in the 2008 Kalamazoo case said it happened on her birthday.
On the witness stand, she recalled that night as the prosecutor asked for specific details. The alleged victim said she was at her sister's house, along with several other people. She said she and several other people were drinking liquor and smoking crack cocaine.
She said Calvin Kelly was there. She didn't know him. He asked to buy her a drink, and she hesitantly got in his car and drove away with him. The victim said Kelly claimed he needed to stop by his room at the Red Roof Inn to grab his wallet. She was to stay in the car.
Instead of stopping at the hotel, she said Kelly drove onto the highway and turned into a median. She said he claimed to have car trouble. He got out of the car, lifted his hood, and got back into the car with a knife.
The victim said he ordered her into the back seat. She said he raped her and sexually assaulted her two more times in about an hour's time in two other locations that night.
In court, Kelly's defense attorney questioned the woman's credibility.
