Man in US arrested for seeking rapist for wife

The ad was posted in the "Casual Encounters" section of Craigslist and was headlined simply "Want to help me," Idaho's Twin Falls county Police Officer Justin Dimond said in the arrest warrant, according to CNN.

The husband, who was not identified, has been charged with solicitation of rape and burglary.

He admitted to having sent e-mails to one Michael Combs asking that he rape his wife, according to the arrest warrant.

Combs told police that he responded to the person who posted the ad, who said his wife "wanted to be forcibly raped as that was a fantasy of hers" and urged him "not to stop no matter how much she resisted," the CNN reported, quoting the warrant.

Police responded to a distress call from the couple's house, where they found the woman holding Combs at gunpoint and arrested him.

The incident marked the second time in two days last week that police were called to the house. Earlier, the woman, who was also not identified, had struggled with another man who fled after pulling the gun out of the woman's hand, according to the warrant.

The man who posted the ad was being held on USD 100,000 bond, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for this month, the report said, adding neither Combs not the husband and wife could be reached for comments.
