Jimmy Edwards of the Monroe County Jail.\nA warrant for the arrest of Santana Adame III, 20, was issued on Jan. 10. Adame is charged with rape, a class B felony, and could face several years in prison, said Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Faron Lake, reading from the police report.\nAdame was booked into the jail Tuesday afternoon but paid his $10,000 surety bond that night, Edwards said. \nThe 18-year-old victim, an IU student, told police she and Adame had been drinking at a party, but later went back to his residence in the 3000 block of East Morningside Drive, Lake said. The woman said Adame was trying to touch her inappropriately and she told him to stop, Lake said. The woman then went to sleep and "discovered after she went unconscious that he had had sex with her," Lake said.\nAdame told police that the sexual encounter was consensual and that the woman was the aggressor, Lake said.\nBPD received a call to go to Bloomington Hospital where the victim was taken after the incident, Lake said.
