Willowvale man falls asleep after alleged rape - and arrested

A Willowvale man allegedly raped a 28-year-old woman and then fell asleep immediately after. 

Police said the 25-year-old suspect dragged the victim at knifepoint to his house where the alleged rape took place.

Police spokesman Jackson Manata said the victim had just gone outside when the suspect appeared from among the cars outside the tavern on Saturday night.

“It is alleged that he raped her and thereafter fell asleep. It was at that stage the victim woke up and ran to Willowvale Police Station where she broke the silence,” he said.

Police went to the house of the suspect and he was still asleep.

“He was arrested. He has been charged with rape and will appear before the Willowvale Magistrate's Court on Tuesday,” he said.
