IU student Aaron Farrer was arrested on a charge of a level 3 felony rape Monday night at his residence in the 400 block of East 15th Street.
The rape was reported to the Bloomington Police Department at 4:36 p.m. Oct. 3.
The incident reportedly happened in late September when the 20-year-old female victim, also a student, was drinking at her residence and planning to go to a bar soon after, the Indiana Daily Student previously reported. Capt. Joe Qualters said the woman had consumed too much alcohol to go to the bars. Her friends put her to bed and left, leaving 20-year-old Farrer to care for her.
The victim reported Farrer undressed her and engaged in sexual intercourse. The victim reported she was in no condition to consent to sexual activity.
Farrer said the victim had engaged in flirtatious activity. He said he admitted to having sexual intercourse but didn’t believe she was too intoxicated and that much of the act was initiated by her, Qualters said.
The next morning there was a text message exchange between Farrer and the victim with him apologizing for his act.
The victim did not go to the hospital the night of the incident but went the next day to the IU Health Center to receive a full examination .
