Man arrested for suspicion of rape and sodomy

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Reno County man is jailed on a $100,000 bond after his arrest for suspicion of two serious charges.

Nathan Allen Crum faces potential charges of rape and aggravated criminal sodomy. Apparently, he invited the victim — whom he met online — to his home to watch a movie. He is then accused of forcing the woman into a sexual relationship after she repeatedly said no.

Crum told Reno County sheriff’s detectives that the sexual relationship was consensual.

The female victim was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment.

The arrest occurred early Saturday morning, but the alleged crimes took place Friday night.

His request for a bond reduction was denied, in part, because both charges would result in prison if he’s convicted. Plus, Crum has a prior felony for arson.
