"A 24-year-old Australian man followed a woman home from an Uptown bar and raped her early Monday, Dallas police say.

The Australian Consulate has been notified that Kurt Graham has been charged with sexual assault of the woman, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

The woman told police she and her roommate were at a bar in the 2700 block of McKinney Avenue when Graham approached her and bought her and her roommate drinks. He then “started making unwanted advances” toward her, according to the affidavit.

She said she rejected Graham’s advances and left the bar in a taxi around 3 a.m. to go to her home in the Knox-Henderson neighborhood.

The woman told police that Graham got into the cab with her and her roommate without permission and insisted on getting a ride. The driver dropped all three off at the woman’s home.

Graham chased her inside as she tried to get away and forced his way in the home, the affidavit states. He then pinned her down on her bed and raped her, it says.

The woman told police that she feared for her life and repeatedly told Graham to stop. She said was able to escape and call 911 after kicking him in the stomach.

When officers arrived, they found Graham unconscious in the woman’s bed, the affidavit states.

Graham remained in the Dallas County Jail in lieu of $25,000 bail on Tuesday." Dallas Morning News

The cab driver apparently didn't see anything wrong. He dropped three people off at the home of the two women. Where was the roommate? Why didn't she help? If the man was drunk enough to pass out, how much of a threat would he have been to two women? If the man posed a threat, why take him home and not the nearest police substation, why get out of the cab with him and then why get out of the cab outside your home. This just doesn't make sense.
