Jerry Lee Fields, 21, of Williamson, and Jimmy Ray Hatfield, 26, of Rawl, are accused of tying up and sexually assaulting a man on Sunday in Williamson.

According to criminal complaints on file in Mingo County Magistrate Court, Fields tied the man up with extension cords around his genitals and repeatedly kicked him in the head. After the victim passed out, he was sexually assaulted, the complaint alleges.
