Woman accuses roommate’s father of rape, flees place of residence

A 21-year-old woman reported on Sunday that she had been raped by her roommate’s father.

The woman arrived home at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday and fell asleep. When she woke up, her roommate’s father was having intercourse with her, Bloomington Police Department Lt. David Drake said, reading from a police report. 

The woman fled her residence to a friend’s house. She was driven to a local hospital.

BPD was notified at 9:43 a.m., Drake said.

BPD Detective Rob Shrake called the cellphone of the father who was visiting from out of state. The father called the detective back, admitting to having consensual sex with the woman.

The father reported noticing the woman vomiting in the bathroom and then helping her. He reported that afterward he and the woman lay in bed together, Drake said, reading from a police report.

BPD obtained a search warrant and collected several items of evidence. The daughter of the accused man was not home during the time of the alleged rape.
“Needless to say, this is under further investigation,” Drake said.
