Last week a man was found guilty of attempted murder for abducting a woman, forcing her to perform sexual acts and then leaving her to die on a dirt road.

Fourth Judicial Circuit District Attorney Michael Jackson said Frank Carter was found guilty of attempted murder by a Dallas County Jury that deliberated for about 45 minutes. Circuit Judge Jack Meigs ordered a pre-sentence investigation and report.

Carter now faces a sentence of mandatory life or life without parole.

“Frank Carter’s reign of terror has ended,” Jackson said. “He needs to pack a suitcase because he is going off to prison for a long time.”

Carter, a 52-year-old male, is from Collirene in Lowndes County.

According to the incident report made available by the district attorney’s office, the victim, a 29-year-old female from Selma, said she was walking on the 1400 block of Tremont Street when an unknown black male, driving a two-door grey vehicle, pulled up next to her.

“The unknown black male jumped out of the vehicle and forced her into the vehicle at knife point,” the report said.

According to the report, she was then taken to a trailer in Lowndes County and the offender tried to force her to perform sexual acts. When she would not comply the offender put her back into the vehicle.

“He stated that he was going to take a shortcut on another dirt road to bring her back to Selma. The victim then stated that the offender drove to a wooded area,” the report said.

The offender, the report continued, took the victim out of the car, slammed her head into the ground and choked her until she was unconscious.

“When she woke up, the black male was gone and she was covered in blood,” the report said. “She walked until she got back to the main highway …”
