Mug Shot Monday (continued)
A Missouri college student says she was raped hours after she attended a #MeToo rally supporting sexual assault survivors, according to a new report.
The 22-year-old woman, who attends Missouri State University, told cops that she met up with fellow student Zachary Alperin, also 22, on Saturday after the rally at Park Central Square, according to a statement obtained by the Springfield News-Leader.
The pair went to a few bars before returning to the woman’s dorm, according to the statement. She told police she allowed Alperin to sleep in her room but told him not to touch her because she had been drinking.
She awoke in the middle of the night to find Alperin naked on top of her, she claimed in the statement.
She alleged that Alperin performed sex acts on her, but she pushed him away.
He was charged Wednesday with second-degree rape and sodomy — offenses that could land him seven years behind bars.
“I guess I tried to force myself on her, and I feel like such a terrible person for it,” Alperin told police, according to the report.
He was being held on $20,000 bond. (Via NY Post)
