Devean White, 20, was expected to be charged with Rape and Strangulation for the alleged incident in Ruston Hall

A man is accused of raping a woman on the USI campus. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:

The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office arrested 20-year-old Devean White after the alleged victim told deputies she was sexually assaulted by him in her residence hall.

The woman told deputies she and White were watching TV in her apartment on Sunday when White assaulted her.

The affidavit states that the victim told deputies she repeatedly said “no” to White, which he ignored.

She told deputies she had trouble breathing due to the pressure he was applying to her neck.

The Sheriff’s Office says White admitted to having sex with the victim but believed the act was consensual.
