Michael Pound, Times StaffSLIPPERY ROCK TWP. — An Aliquippa man has been charged with raping a fellow student on the campus of Slippery Rock University.Campus police charged Marcus S. Norman, 19, of 801 Grand Ave. with rape, sexual assault and indecent assault, officers said, after he had sex with a female Slippery Rock student after she had told him twice that she didn’t want to have sex with him.

The female student told police that she sent a text message to Norman around 5 p.m. Dec. 3, asking to meet him outside a residence hall. They met later that night, and Norman suggested they sit in his truck because it was too cold to be outside.The woman agreed, but said Norman became aggressive once they were inside his truck.

She told police that she protested several times — once even trying to get out of the truck — but Norman eventually forcibly removed her sweat pants and had sex with her in the vehicle.Police said officers interviewed Norman twice, and both times he admitted that the woman had told him to stop. In a Dec. 11 interview, Norman told officers that he should have stopped when told.
