A Tullahoma man has been arrested on rape charges.

Cornelius Lorenzo McEwen, 20, of West Warren Street was arrested Dec. 2 by campus police at MTSU while he attended a basketball game at the school.

He was arrested on a warrant obtained by Tullahoma Police Detective Rana Pawlowski that alleges that on Oct. 2 McEwen raped an 18-year-old female at a residence on Wilson Avenue in Coffee County.

The warrant alleges that McEwen asked the victim for a "ride and to hang out with her and her roommate."

While at the Wilson Avenue residence McEwen allegedly made advances toward the victim.

The warrant alleges that the victim got up and left the room and went to sleep on the couch. That is where he allegedly raped her.
