A black man faces felony sexual assault charges after he raped a woman on a city sidewalk in broad daylight

According to police, Melvin L. Jackson, 49, had sex with the unconscious woman on a sidewalk outside of a vacant business. Two witnesses who flagged down a patrol car say that they saw the woman curled up in a fetal position, with Jackson on top of her with his pants and underwear around his ankles, having sex with her. When Kansas City Missouri Police arrived on the scene, authorities say that Jackson told them, "I thought that lady was dead."
