WARSAW — A Warsaw man was arrested after allegedly having sex with a mentally and physically disabled person.
Everett J. Compton, 57, of 1912 La Vista Drive, Warsaw, is charged with four counts of rape, level 3 felonies, and one charge of sexual battery, a level 6 felony.
He was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail at 5:14 p.m. Saturday on a $10,000 preliminary bond.
According to the probable cause affidavit, on Friday, the Warsaw Police Department received a report from Adult Protective Services requesting a welfare check on a physically and mentally disabled adult. The person alleged they were inappropriately touched.
A WPD officer spoke with the victim. The victim said Compton had inappropriately touched them at a campground in the county. The victim said prior to coming in for the interview, Compton told the victim he may not be their friend anymore if they told anyone about what happened.
The victim said Compton had sexual intercourse with them and the victim felt like they had to agree to the sexual activity.
On Saturday, a WPD detective spoke with Compton. He said he wasn’t forceful with the victim, and they were very needy and had trouble with men. He recalled one incident where he alleged the victim was “gleaming” at him.
Officers also interviewed another individual, who said she didn’t believe the victim could consent to sexual activity due to a lack of understanding.
