A 21-year-old man has been apprehended and accused of raping a University of Indianapolis student on campus.
According to police, the investigation began on Jan. 24 when a lady called University of Indianapolis Police, claiming she was intoxicated at a downtown Indianapolis bar and then raped in her dorm room.
According to court documents, she met Marwan Khalaf of Noblesville at the Metro Bar on Massachusetts Avenue before returning to her dorm room, where he raped her twice. When she awoke for the last time, he was gone.
According to court documents, she then took a shower and passed out again. She awoke in the shower at 7 a.m. on January 24 and dialed 911.
According to court documents, the student went out alone on Jan. 23 and took an Uber to a couple clubs downtown before arriving at the Metro Bar at 12:51 a.m. on Jan. 24. There, she met Khalaf and they danced together.
Court filings state that the establishment declined to provide the student a drink because she was already intoxicated when she arrived. Khalaf then purchased her a shot and asked her to go. She claims Khalaf left with her and offered to take her home.
The pupil says she remembers his car being “parked directly across the street from Metro.” According to UIPD Detective Jay Arnold, the student entered the dorm at 2:13 a.m. using their identity card.
In During an interview with detectives, Khalaf admitted to being at the pub and kissing her, but denied having sexual contact with the student. He told detectives that he took care of her since she was inebriated, and that he left the dorm when it got light outside because his mother had called him.
Khalaf is charged with two counts of rape and one count of sexual battery.
