An adult son is accused of sexually assaulting his own a mother last month in their home in South Memphis. The suspect was arrested over the weekend.

According to court papers, last month the suspect asked his mother to come into his bedroom and hold a table while he changed a light bulb in the ceiling, but instead police say he grabbed his mother from behind and raped her.

"It's awful," said Annette Griffin, who lives in the
neighbourhood, didn't know the woman and hadn't heard about the crime. She's is glad the son is now behind bars, but not completely surprised by the violence.

"They do it all the time," said Griffin. . . The suspect is being held in the Shelby County Jail on $500,000 bond.
