A Toledo man has been indicted for a rape and kidnapping that reportedly occurred in a Bowling Green State University residence hall lounge.

A Wood County grand jury on Wednesday indicted Assad Ahmad Girad, 23, for rape and kidnapping, both first-degree felonies, and tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony.

On April 1, the alleged victim invited Girad to watch a movie with friends. She clearly told Girad prior to his arrival she did not want sexual conduct with him, according to court documents.

Once the movie ended and they were alone, they kissed briefly and then Girad lifted her shirt. She told him no, and he allegedly raped her while she pleaded with him to stop. He then put her on the floor, covered her mouth and nose with his hand and continued his assault, according to the documents.

The incident reportedly happened in the Kriescher-Darrow lounge on the BGSU campus.

The kidnapping charge is due to Girad allegedly restraining the woman.

He also allegedly concealed or removed evidence with the purpose of impairing its value to the investigation.

Girad posted a $50,000 bond on April 24.

He must wear a GPS monitor, have no contact with the alleged victim, and not be within three miles of BGSU.
