MySpace Meeting Leads To Rape Charges

A MySpace meeting in the state of Washington has resulted in second-degree rape charges.

Richard Gordon Wheeler, 52, of Auburn, is alleged to have gone over to the woman's apartment and poured her a shot of mescal. After drinking it, the alleged victim noticed that the liquid her in her glass was a bit darker than the one he had been drinking, states court papers.

According to The Seattle Times:

"The woman told detectives her memory became foggy and the next thing she remembers Wheeler was performing a sex act on her as she lay naked on her bed, the charging papers say. She told him to stop and when he refused, she hit him and he laughed, the papers say. Wheeler allegedly then had intercourse with the woman and pulled out clumps of her hair when she resisted, according to the charging documents."

The 48-year-old woman was then taken to a hospital where she was examined by a nurse who found indications of rape.

Wheeler, who is currently in jail, denies the allegations.
