SENOIA, Ga. — A Coweta County man is facing sex crime charges after raping a woman he met online, according to Senoia police.
Police reports show that Jaret Ansley Houston, 25, was arrested on Valentine’s Day and charged with raping a 19-year-old woman in April 2022.
The victim reported to police that she had met Houston on the dating app Bumble. The pair decided to meet at Dunkin’ a few days later and ended up going to his apartment to watch a movie.

During the movie, she reported that Houston began kissing her. Despite telling him she did not want to engage in anything further than kissing, he proceeded to touch her and eventually raped her.
She told police she told Houston no several times but was too afraid to fight back because he was bigger and stronger than her.
When she began to cry, Houston reportedly stopped and became “very apologetic,” according to the victim’s testimony.
