A Grand Marais man who discovered his wife was having an affair is accused of using a crowbar, knife and gun to force the other man to have sex with his wife.

Kevin Robert Thompson, 52, is charged with kidnapping, assault, terroristic threats, false imprisonment and second-degree criminal sexual conduct. His wife, Susan Ann Thompson, is charged with second-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and false imprisonment.

The Duluth News Tribune reported the eight- to nine-hour alleged incident happened May 15-16. The prosecutor filed his probable cause brief Friday.

A criminal complaint said the 43-year-old alleged victim and Thompson's 40-year-old wife were having an affair. The complaint quotes the man as saying Kevin Thompson discovered them and secured him and loosely restrained his wife.

Kevin Thompson's attorney says the alleged victim got caught and is making it look like Kevin Thompson is a criminal. An attorney for Susan Thompson says the wife had no knowledge of what was going to happen.
