RAPID CITY, S.D. (WKRC) - A defeated South Dakota House of Representatives candidate is facing a sexual assault allegation.

Bud Marty May, 37, was arrested on Nov. 13 and charged with second-degree rape. He appeared in court Tuesday.

Court documents say he used "force, coercion, or threats of immediate and great bodily injury" to rape the woman in "multiple ways" in a bar bathroom stall.

The victim claims he told her, "I am 6'8", white, it is all consensual."

According to the police report, officers found the woman hiding behind the bar counter with dirt, blood, and an abrasion on her face.

1. He is a Republican.

Rolling stone wrote:

“Sexual assault is not the only current case against May, the former candidate is involved in an unresolved case regarding driving without a license and expired plates, and has multiple outstanding warrants from the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety.

May ran for the South Dakota state House against his mother, Republican state Rep. Liz Marty May, in a four-way race for two seats representing the state’s 27th District. The younger May drew 22 percent of the vote, but finished the race in fourth place, while his mother and Democrat Peri Pourier won reelection.”
