PORT ANGELES — Jason Donald McGowan was charged Tuesday with third-degree rape-lack of consent for allegedly raping an 18-year-old woman last August.
McGowan, 34, of Port Angeles will be arraigned Friday in Clallam County Superior Court.
Authorities allege that McGowan raped the woman on the living room floor of a Port Angeles residence while their shared acquaintances were away.
The woman told police she knew McGowan from hanging around an at-risk youth center.
She disclosed the alleged rape to a therapist, who immediately phoned police in December.
Port Angeles police said McGowan admitted in a video-recorded interview that he had forcibly had sex with the woman after she told him she did not want to, according to the arrest narrative.
McGowan was released from the Clallam County jail on his personal recognizance Tuesday.
