A man is accused of raping a woman early Saturday in the basement of the Spokane church where he works.

Police arrested Michael J. Bosch, 47, early Saturday after a woman said he attacked her in the basement of Mending Fences Ministry, 1906 E. Sprague Ave., according to court documents.

Bosch met the woman on East Sprague about 2:30 a.m. and the two discussed "possible sexual activity," records say, before going to Mending Fences, a ministry that works with drug addicts and the homeless. Bosch works at the church and had a key, police said.

Bosch smoked crack cocaine before tying wire around the woman's face and mouth and placing a plastic bag over her head, according to court documents. Bosch tied the woman to a metal pipe before sexually assaulting her, police said. 

The woman smashed a window and ran to a nearby motor home, where a resident called police. 

Officers found the woman with a wire around her neck and face with pieces of a plastic bag stuck to it. Bosch had a scratch on his cheek and cut on a finger that he told police he'd gotten earlier in the week. 

Bosch's bail was set at $50,000 in Spokane County Superior Court Monday.



Man accused of rape after church event

The Spokesman-Review  February 9, 2010

A 20-year-old Spokane man is accused of drugging a woman, then raping her, after a church function.  Adric T. Watson is in jail on a $10,000 bond after appearing in Spokane County Superior Court Monday on one count of second-degree rape.

Watson turned himself in to police over the weekend in connection with the alleged Nov. 14 assault.

Watson reportedly told the detectives he'd given the 19-year-old woman sleeping pills before he had sex with her, Deputy Prosecutor Sharon Hedlund said.

Watson and the alleged victim met at an event through Lighthouse Ministries before they went to a friend's home, where the woman said Watson raped her as she slept.  The woman underwent a sexual assault examination at a local hospital, where she was also interviewed by detectives.
