Vinson is accused of attacking the victim, a 49-year-old woman with whom he'd previously had a relationship, at her Gretna home on the night of Jan. 25. He sexually assaulted her and beat her over the following days, leaving her with a brain bleed, broken ribs, black eyes, facial swelling and bruises and cuts all over body, Police Chief Arthur Lawson said. Between assaults, he tied her up and kept her locked in a closet, police said.
