A 26-year-old Seattle
woman Chantae Gilman is facing rape charges after a man alleged woke up to find
her on top of him in his apartment, pinning his arms down.
The unidentified victim,
31, reported the June 17 attack to police saying that he did not know Gilman
personally but said she was an acquaintance of another man in the duplex.
He described her as 'a
drug user in the area.' Gilman
has prior felon convictions for attempted robbery and possession of a stolen
vehicle, The Smoking Gun
reports.
According the the police
report, on the night of the attack the man had attended a birthday party for a
neighbor known to Gilman.
'Once arriving home he
fell asleep on his bed,' reported Detective Roger Ishimitsu. 'Victim slept very
hard due to a long day.'
He woke
at 2 a.m. to find the 5'7''. 240-pound Gilman on top of him with his erect
penis inside of her.
His hands had been 'pinned
down over his head,' according to the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.
He told
her to get off of him but Gilman ignored him. Finally he was 'able to work his
way out from underneath' her.
He was then able to eject
her from the apartment before going to the Harborview Medical Center for a
sexual assault examination.
It's still unclear how she
was able to get into the apartment.
Gilman denied knowing the
man to police and said she did not remember being at his house or having sex
with him.
Detective Ishimitsu wrote:
'She said that she has a mental illness and suffers from Bipolar disorder and
Psychosis.'
A sample of her DNA
matched female DNA recovered from the sexual assault kit.
She has since been charged
with second-degree rape for assaulting a victim 'incapable of consenting to
sexual intercourse by reason of being physically helpless.'
According
to recent Facebook posts, she said she was '2months sober and I'm 31 weeks
pregnant.'
She is the mother of two
other young children.
Detectives agreed it was
unusual to have female charged with such a crime.
'From a statistical
standpoint, yes, it is atypical to have a female aggressor,' Detective Drew
Fowler, told KOMO,
'but we work to hold all people responsible for their actions. The law is
specifically written to be gender-equitable and we will charge anybody with a
crime that they've committed.'
