By Staff Report-

PIERCETON - A rural Pierceton woman who reported her car stolen Saturday morning may also have been sexually assaulted.

The 29-year-old woman told a Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department deputy that she awoke in her car outside a Pierceton bar about 3:30 a.m. The woman said she may have been drugged because she doesn't remember anything that happened between 9:30 p.m. Friday and the time she woke up in her car with her bra unhooked, but her clothing otherwise intact.

At that time, a man seated in the car told her that she could have her car keys back if she had sex with him for 10 minutes. She refused and the man reportedly began to drive her car, taking her throughout the southeastern part of the county and touching her inappropriately before dropping her at a friend's house. He then allegedly left in her car.

The man reportedly later was seen at the woman's house in her car, which he left at her residence. He and another man who was in the car with him then left the area on foot.

A drug screen was performed on the woman at Kosciusko Community Hospital to determine whether any substances were in her system that she consumed on her own. That information has not yet been released. [[In-content Ad]]
