A Mobile County man accused of sexually abusing a woman and forcing her to marry him is no longer charged with kidnapping, according to court records.

Mobile County Circuit Court Judge Spiro Cheriogotis on Wednesday denied prosecutors’ motion to change the kidnapping charge against Roy Clowder to unlawful imprisonment, records show.

Clowder, 38, of Coden, still faces charges of sexual assault and robbery in connection with the Oct. 11 incident.

Clowder allegedly met the victim at a convenience store on Dauphin Island Parkway.

He allegedly asked the woman if she could drive him home and, on the way to the car, allegedly held a gun, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office said.

Clowder allegedly took control of the vehicle holding the victim at gunpoint and forced her into the passenger seat.

Clowder then drove the car to a church where he had the woman “marry” him on the steps outside, officials said.

“Clowder drove the victim’s car to several locations around DIP with the victim inside,” MCSO said in a statement. “Clowder even went to a local church and forced the victim to attend a ‘mock’ wedding on the steps outside the church.”

After her family called the police, officers called her on the phone. Clowder allegedly responded and then abandoned the vehicle.
