These included rape, an offense that carries severe legal consequences, as well as assault causing severe injury, which indicates the assault was particularly violent or resulted in significant harm. Additionally, he was charged with attempting to defeat the ends of justice, suggesting efforts to obstruct or hinder the investigation or legal process.
