20 year old arrested for rape of an unconscious victim and sexual battery

 


Ethan Erik Halseth was arrested by Rio Dell Police Department yesterday for PC 243.4 (c) sexual battery and  PC 261(a) (4) rape of an unconscious victim. Halseth posted bail on April 13 which was $75,000. 

Rio Dell Police Chief Allen told me, "Good morning John, what I can tell you about this case is very limited due to the sensitive nature of the charges."

"What I can tell you is that the Rio Dell Police Department received information on that case and an investigation was conducted.  Based on statements and evidence collected, there was probable cause to make the arrest for the charges you’ve seen.  Halseth was arrested last night without incident and transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. The investigation is continuing at this time."

There is an allegation of domestic violence  filed against Halseth in a family law case. A hearing in that case is scheduled for May 1.
