Joplin rape case under investigation



An alleged rape Sunday at a home in a southwest Joplin neighborhood remained under investigation Tuesday, according to the Joplin Police Department.

Lt. Brian Lewis said a 23-year-old woman reported to police on Monday that she had been raped by a man while she was at the home of her boyfriend’s mother. Lewis said a male friend of the mother’s allegedly was following the woman around the house propositioning her, and ultimately attacked her.

Lewis said no arrest had been made by Tuesday afternoon. He said the alleged victim did not know the man except by his first name, and the man had yet to be located by police for questioning.
