FAIRBANKS, Alaska—
A Fort Wainwright soldier is on trial accused of trying to rape a Fairbanks woman.The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/IIEiHa) says jurors on Tuesday heard two different accounts of what happened on Feb. 26 at the Frontier Lodge apartments.
Prosecutors say 27-year-old Casey Bogenrief, an Army specialist, was set to deploy in a few days when he met the victim who invited him to her apartment to have a drink and maybe sing karaoke.
The soldier is accused of becoming violent and demanding to have sex with the woman and slamming her head against a door and trying to rape her.
Bogenrief's attorney says that if there was sexual contact it was consensual.
