GRAFTON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A Grafton man is facing charges after allegedly sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl.

Sixty-year-old Jimmie Oliver was arrested and charged with first degree sexual assault, second degree recklessly endangering safety, along with drug possession and drug trafficking charges.

Police say on the morning of July 17, the 17-year-old victim went to Oliver's house near 9th and Spring Street in Grafton.

Oliver allegedly asked the victim for sex in exchange for drugs and the victim refused. Oliver reportedly became angry and held a knife to the victim's neck before sexually assaulting her.
