A man awaiting trial on rape charges in Hanover County had his bond revoked after a University of Richmond student said he had been watching her and acting suspiciously.

Timothy Hargett, 29, of Henrico County faces felony charges of abduction, object sexual penetration, and two counts each of rape and forcible sodomy.

In that case, a woman told authorities that she was raped and forced to perform oral sex early the morning of Dec. 2 in a car in the Mechanicsville area.

According to a police affidavit filed in Hanover Circuit Court, the woman reported that she and some friends had gone to a club in Shockoe Bottom and afterward agreed to meet two men at a home in Mechanicsville.

The woman said one of the men later volunteered to give her a ride to her vehicle. He pulled into a cul-de-sac on Cherry Lane near Willow Avenue and overpowered the woman, according to the affidavit. He also took her cell phone and deleted incoming and missed calls, the affidavit says.

The man "became paranoid, stating to her that they were being followed" and drove around for more than 30 minutes before dropping her off near her home in Mechanicsville, the affidavit says. "I think you're going to try to put me in jail," the man said at one point, according to the affidavit.

The woman picked Hargett out of a photo lineup, and he was arrested Dec. 7 on four of the six charges he now faces. He later posted $140,000 bond.

On Wednesday, a UR student testified in a court hearing that a man she was not acquainted with was "driving very slowly and watching her" as she went to a laundry room on campus March 2, said Angela M. O'Connor, senior assistant commonwealth's attorney in Hanover.

Then late the evening of March 6 or early the next morning, the woman got a ride home and saw the man's car parked beside hers, and he was walking around outside her building, O'Connor said the student testified.

Campus police were summoned, and they stopped a car Hargett was driving. Officers escorted him off campus and banned him from returning, according to a police report in the court file. He was not charged with a crime.

When police showed the woman a picture of Hargett, she identified him as the man in both incidents, according to the police report.

On April 15, a grand jury indicted Hargett on two additional charges in connection with the reported rape in Hanover. A magistrate denied him bond on the new charges.

His defense attorney, G. Russell Stone Jr., then filed a motion requesting that his client be granted bond on those two charges as he had been for the previous four charges, noting that all six arose from the same set of facts. Stone also noted that Hargett has never been convicted of a violent crime.

At Wednesday's court hearing, substitute Judge Thomas N. Nance heard Stone's motion and also a motion from O'Connor asking Nance to revoke Hargett's bond on the first four charges. O'Connor argued in her motion that Hargett is a danger to society.

Nance granted O'Connor's motion and denied Stone's.

"It was a very satisfying victory," O'Connor said Thursday.

Stone declined to comment yesterday on the case. A jury trial is set for July 16.

Hargett is being held at the Pamunkey Regional Jail with no bond.
