An Indiana man was charged with raping an Indiana University sorority member before she mysteriously died at his parent’s house earlier this month.
Eric Montgomery, 33, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant for rape when the victim is “disabled or deficient,” as well as furnishing alcohol to a minor.
The arrest was made after an investigation into the Aug. 17 death of Avery McMillan, 20, who had been heavily drinking before being picked up by Montgomery, who then plied her with more alcohol.
Montgomery told authorities that he met McMillan that morning near campus and had sex with her in the parking garage of her apartment building and then again at his house.
The rape suspect also said he provided McMillan with weed and alcohol and consumed it with her. A search of his vehicle turned up two half-empty bottles of liquor.
McMillan’s roommates told detectives that she had gotten a little more drunk than she intended or wanted to at the party the night before. She then became frazzled and aggressive. Then she exited the car in the middle of their drive home around 2 a.m.
She was then seen on security footage trying in vain to access her Bloomington apartment without her key for almost two hours.
Much of that time was spent in the building’s parking garage, where McMillan appeared “highly intoxicated,” detectives said.
A 2010 Ford Crown Victoria believed to belong to Montgomery entered the garage around 5 a.m. and stayed there for about nine minutes before leaving. McMillan was not seen in the garage after the car left.
At 9:45 a.m., a man called 911 from an off-campus house owned by Montgomery’s parents. McMillian was reportedly found unconscious and unresponsive.
Montgomery was not charged in connection with her death, the cause of which remains unknown pending the results of an autopsy report.
McMillian was a “beloved” and “dedicated” member of Zeta Tau Alpha who “went out of her way to be an involved and present member of the chapter,” said chapter President Ella Gebke.
She hailed from Valparaiso, Indiana, about 200 miles north of the university, according to her sorority sisters.
Whore
So, what wold that make him…a Choir Boy?
As always, the “usual” suspects….
Omg! These comments. Someone died. Have some decency. Smdh
Thats what happens when you hang with Canadians… people will never learn.
I guess I’m not understanding how we can either confirm or deny it is as rape? Did anyone around her at any point before she went on to his house hear her say no? I understand being drunk but I also understand as a woman alcoholic beverages do not make you do things you don’t already want to do in some sense. Now if she was blacked out unresponsive and then raped it is a different story obviously, but if they had sex at the party and it was her choice and the such it’s a hard thing to develop into rape without her word. Sorry but so many men are accused of something and it’s not really the case. I fear the world children will grow up in with everyone able to call rape and get some one punished when it is not always simply the case. There is never an innocent until proven guilty, it is always immediately guilty by a jury of newspapers and foolish gossip queens.
I am sure there is more evidence we don’t know or see but sometimes these stories absolutely don’t know and until all of the facts are released we should neither slander or martyr someone’s name like so many do. Journalists just need an excuse to write things but they should HAVE to ask family to be allowed to use names and anything else before they can release such things. They always slaughter stories and put out false information that affects innocent people and it’s disgraceful. That’s the whole reason I refuse to watch news or anything else.
Facts…smh..just someone to blame when things go wrong….I definitely would have not took a drunk woman home…
Seriously?
Castration will fix him right up!
What did the barber say?, NEXT!!
I doubt anyone knows what decency , respect or common sense is now days
He should left her at the garage… and call for help
Meh, legally, very questionable. Either way all decent men know take them home,dont touch, feed water, sit awhile make sure they are going to make it. Leave them safe. He failed at all of that, so fuck him.
