An 18-year-old said she was raped by a man she met on Facebook on Dec. 22.

Police said that Shane Stephen Brown, 21, of Uniontown picked her up at work and took her to his stepfather’s house.

Brown allegedly began touching the woman inappropriately and she told him to stop several times.

“Shane told her not to worry, and that she would enjoy it,” Uniontown police Cpl. Michael Bittner wrote in the complaint. “She told him to stop and he laughed.”

Police said he continued the act and she started crying. Brown allegedly responded by saying she was beautiful and he was “overcome by lust.”

The woman said he raped her while she kicked and hit him. She called her family the next day and went to Uniontown Hospital, police said.

He allegedly texted her multiple times, apologizing and asking her to come back.

Brown is charged with two counts of rape, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, sexual assault, and three counts each of aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault.
