*Update: This story has been updated to reflect charges being dropped in the case of a Coker College student being accused of rape.

HARTSVILLE, SC (WBTW) – Charges have been dropped after a Coker College soccer player was accused of raping a woman at a party over the weekend, according to the City of Hartsville.

Hartsville police officers were called to an apartment on East Carolina Avenue Sunday morning by a woman who said she was raped in a bathroom in Sullivan Hall dormitories at a party. The woman told police that she was at the party with a couple friends around 4:40 a.m. Sunday morning when she was approached by the suspect, a 19-year-old man. (Name of accused has been removed from story following charges being dropped)

The woman told officers that the man asked for some of her drink, so they walked to a sink next to the bathroom to get a cup so she could pour some of her beverage in a cup for him. After pouring the drink, the victim started walking back to the living room toward her friends, but the man reportedly grabbed her by the waist and pulled her into the bathroom.

According to the woman, the man pushed her down into the shower and raped her. The woman said the attack lasted for five to 10 minutes and the man repeatedly called the woman a “whore and a lot of other degrading names and that she deserved it,” the report states.

The woman told officers she didn’t know the man prior to the attack.

The woman was taken to the hospital where a sexual assault examination was completed. The man was arrested and charged with criminal sexual assault first degree and kidnapping. Charges were dropped four days later and the woman was arrested for filing a false police report.

RELATED ARTCILE

HARTSVILLE, SC (WBTW) – The charges have been dropped against a Coker College soccer player accused of raping a woman in a dorm room bathroom.

According to Hartsville Police Lt. Mark Blair, the 19-year-old man, whose name is being redacted from this story, was originally charged with criminal sexual conduct first degree and kidnapping. The man’s accuser, later identified as Lauren Emily Pearson, was arrested Thursday night for filing a false police report.

Pearson told officers Sunday morning that she was pulled into a dorm room bathroom by the alleged attacker, pushed to the bottom of a shower and raped.

Hartsville Police Lt. Mark Blair confirms Pearson faces a charge of filing false police report of a felony.

Hartsville City Manager Natalie Zeigler confirms the criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping charge against the man have been dropped.

The man’s lawyer, Paul v. Cannarella, released a statement Friday morning saying his law firm began conducting an independent investigation into the allegations on which his client was arrested. The man accused of rape told police and his lawyer that he and the woman did have “consensual sex in a dorm bathroom.”

The attorney claims his investigation revealed witnesses who said his client and Pearson were seen “making out” before leaving the dorm room.

“The police have confirmed through local media outlets that Ms. Pearson was, in fact, the complaining party to the rape allegations against my client,” Cannarella said in a press release.

Cannarella said his client’s family was forced to travel to Hartsville from out of state, incur expenses for bail bonds and legal representation.

“Regrettably, this same family was forced to clean out his dorm room after he was banned from campus, removed from the soccer team and suspended from school after his release from jail,” the lawyer states. “These false allegations should cause society to pause when they hear on the news or read on the internet that a person has been charged with a crime. Folks are quick to convict based simply on allegations, which oftentimes, just as here, are later proven to be false.”

Cesar Lopez (DCSO. WPDE background)

Cesar Antonio Lopez is charged with criminal sexual conduct first degree and kidnapping after a woman was raped Saturday night in the bathroom of a dormitory at Coker College on East Carolina Avenue in Hartsville, according to a police report from the Hartsville Police Department.

The incident report says the incident happened at a party around 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning.

The report says the woman, “Stated that a male that she only knew as Cesar, but was later identified as Cesar Lopez approached her wanting some of her drink. She stated that he pushed her into the bathroom and into the shower. She stated that she yelled but that there was a bunch of music in the background due to the party.”

The police report goes on to say the woman, “Sobered up because she figured what was about to happen. She stated that she then said a few profanities wanting to know what he was doing. She stated that he then pushed her mouth with his forearm so that her words were muffled. She stated that he then grabbed one of her arms and was straddling her waist. She stated that she was wearing a skirt and then he forcefully pulled her underwear down,” and penetrated her without a condom.

She stated in the report that, “After he finished all he stated to her was “you can go.” She stated that she ran out of the room and called her friend.”

According to the incident report, the woman’s friends took her to the hospital where a sexual assault kit was done on her.

The warrant against Lopez says that on “4/29/2018 the defendant, (Cesar Lopez) did commit the offense of criminal sexual conduct first degree to wit: that the defendant did forcefully hold the victim against her will and commit sexual battery without the defendant’s consent. This event happened in the bathroom at 459 East Carolina Ave., which is in the city of Hartsville in Darlington County. Probable cause is based on evidence collected and defendant statements along with victim statement.”

The school’s website lists Lopez as a member of the 2017-18 Men’s Soccer team.

Coker College Vice President for External Relations Professor of Music Dr. William Carswell released the following statement regarding the incident:

Our primary concern is always, first and foremost, the safety of our students and the wellbeing of our college community. While the college is unable to release details regarding individual students, rest assured that our administration has been cooperating fully with local law enforcement and following established protocol regarding this weekend’s events.

Lopez is being held in the W. Glen Campbell Detention Center in Darlington County on a $100,000 bond.
