A 52-year-old Gasparillo man has been charged with rape, buggery and indecent exposure after a 19-year-old woman claimed she was repeatedly raped and buggered by him.

According to police, the woman reported that she was last month at the Gasparillo home of the man with whom she had been conversing on social media, when the accused had sexual intercourse with her without her consent.

Police were told that this occurred again and that on three separate occasions, the victim was forced to have anal sex with the accused against her will.
