Man pleads guilty to raping two women nearly 22 years ago
CLAY COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – A man accused of raping two women nearly 22 years ago has pleaded guilty.
58-year-old Frederick Gandy entered the plea on Jan. 21 in Clay County Circuit Court.
He was sentenced to 25 years in prison, which is mandatory.
Gandy was arrested by West Point Police in July 2022.
Originally charged in one rape case, evidence later connected him to a second cold case.
Investigators say DNA testing led them to Gandy.
In a press release, District Attorney Scott Colom says the victims feel relieved that justice has been served.
