Affidavit: San Antonio man accused of raping 16-year-old girl

A 23-year-old man accused of raping a 16-year-old girl was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of sexual assault of a child, an arrest affidavit said.

Police said Jesus Lopez-Notario worked with the victim for about three weeks and began a friendship with her. On June 6, Lopez-Notario invited the teenager over to his house to hang out with him and some family members.

Soon after she arrived, the girl told officers she began drinking tequila and that Lopez-Notario tried to kiss and hug her throughout the night despite her fending off his advances, according to the affidavit.

Later in the night, the girl got in a vehicle thinking she was joining the family members to go pick someone up, but the group left in a different car, leaving her alone with Lopez-Notario in the backseat of a vehicle parked in the driveway.

She tried to get out of the vehicle, but he pulled her back in and began to forcefully undress her before she passed out, the affidavit said. The victim told police that she was woken up later by the family members trying to redress her.

They took her home and told her they were angry with Lopez-Notario and kicked him out of the house after he allegedly admitted that he had sex with the unconscious victim, according to the affidavit.

The next day, Lopez-Notario told the victim he would get her a “pill” so she doesn’t get pregnant, the affidavit continued.

Lopez-Notario’s bail was set at $50,000.
