PRESS RELEASE

RE: Man arrested for Rape of 16 year old

     Bonneville County Sheriff’s Deputies received a report of a Sex Assault yesterday involving a 16 year old female and 23 year old Danilo D. Nitura.  Deputies were advised the victim had been at a residence on Eve Dr. earlier in the day and was given a drink that made her feel dizzy.  Moments later Mr. Nitura began kissing and touching the victim, who told him to stop multiple times but continued removing her clothes and ultimately had sexual contact with her.  The victim was able to get away from the residence after Mr. Nitura had left the room. 

     Deputies located and interviewed Mr. Nitura who admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana with the victim.  After changing his story several times, Mr. Nitura told Deputies he remembered something sexual in nature happening with the victim. 

     During this time Deputies discovered Mr. Nitura had an active Misdemeanor Warrant for Failure to Appear from an Idaho Falls Police Department case and he was taken into custody.  Mr. Nitura was transported to the Bonneville County Jail where he was booked on the outstanding warrant along with a new Felony charge for Rape.
