Bloomington police arrested 21-year-old Benjamin Haile on Monday on the charges of rape and sexual misconduct with a minor, Sgt. John Kovach said.
A 15-year-old girl went to Haile’s apartment with him at Colonial Crest Apartments, located on Gourley Pike, on Dec. 12, 2014. She consumed alcohol and remembers being on the porch of his house.
Haile led her up to his room and she told him “no” before the rape occurred, but she couldn’t fight him off. She woke up in the bed naked. Later, she was able to take police to the apartment complex where the incident occurred, Kovach said.
The case was filed Jan. 28 with the Bloomington Police Department, and a warrant was issued for his arrest Monday. Haile declined to speak with police. This case remains active.
