An 18-year-old University student reported she was a raped at an unknown location after getting into a taxi downtown early Sunday, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

The woman said she got into a taxi downtown and was driven around for approximately two hours, according to the police report. During this time she kept telling the driver her address and that she wanted to go home.

At some point the driver stopped at an unknown location and raped the woman, the report states.

The accused rapist is described as an Hispanic male in his 20s with a scruffy beard and a thick accent, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and 180 pounds, ACC Police Capt. Clarence Holeman said.

The incident occurred between midnight and 2:55 a.m. The police made contact with the woman early Sunday at the corner of Baxter Street and Milledge Avenue.

Holeman said alcohol was involved in the incident.

“We had a similar case happen about three years ago on a football weekend,” Holeman said.

But he said he did not think the cases were related, as the older case involved a white male in a white van.

In 2008, a woman told police she was sexually assaulted by a man driving a white van after he asked her if she needed a ride.

In two separate incidents in September 2007 two women reported being abducted in a white van in downtown Athens after being offered a ride.

“I don’t think it’s the same person that we were looking for three years ago,” Holeman said.

The rape reported early Sunday marks the 13th rape reported in Athens since June.

Most recently, a 30-year-old woman reported she was raped early Saturday after she was walking home from a friend’s house when a man grabbed her near the intersection of College Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, according to an ACC report.

In August, a 20-year-old University student reported a rape downtown, but the claim was later determined to be unfounded.

At this time, though, Holeman said the thought of another unfounded claim had not even crossed his mind.

“We’re not even thinking about unfounded claims,” he said. “We’re going to investigate it.”
