NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- A former Connecticut police officer is charged with luring a woman into sex by pretending to be his twin and then raping her when she realized her mistake.
Jared Rohrig, 25, of Milford pleaded not guilty at a hearing Wednesday, The New Haven Register reported. Rohrig resigned last month as a probationary police officer in Orange.
Rohrig faces charges of sexual assault and criminal impersonation. He is free on bail pending his trial.
Prosecutors say the alleged victim was a friend of Rohrig's brother, Joseph. When she arrived at the house where they live with their parents July 18, Joseph did not feel like seeing her and told Jared to spend time with her.
Jared allegedly instead told the woman he was Joseph. She said she only realized she was with Jared when they were in bed because Joseph has a cowboy tattooed on his buttocks.
The woman alleges Jared forced her to remain with him, putting a pillow over her face.
