The man accused of raping a student inside her Kennesaw State University apartment in May 2015 has been identified and arrested, police said.
Anthony Lewis Cochenour, of Buford, allegedly went to party at the Pi Kappa Alpha house with a woman on April 30, 2015, and then returned to her on-campus apartment at KSU Place, his arrest warrant says. The two had alcoholic drinks at the party and additional drinks at the apartment, according to police.
Cochenour later followed the woman to her bed, where early the next morning, he assaulted her, police said. He allegedly apologized to the woman the next day in text messages, but denied anything had happened during an initial interview with KSU police, according to the warrant.
A rape kit was sent to the GBI for analysis, which linked Cochenour to the assault through DNA. An arrest warrant was issued Thursday for Cochenour, who surrendered that evening and was charged with rape. He was released the following day after posting $50,000, booking records showed.
Cochenour was not listed as a student Monday in the KSU online directory.
