RAPID CITY, S.D. (WKRC) — A defeated South Dakota House of Representatives candidate is facing a sexual assault allegation.
Bud Marty May, 37, was arrested on Nov. 13 and charged with second-degree rape. He appeared in court Tuesday.
Court documents say he used "force, coercion, or threats of immediate and great bodily injury" to rape the woman in "multiple ways" in a bar bathroom stall.
The victim claims he told her, "I am 6'8", white, it is all consensual."
According to the police report, officers found the woman hiding behind the bar counter with dirt, blood, and an abrasion on her face.
She apparently told them that the blood was May's, who was in an altercation earlier in the day.
May allegedly tried to flee from authorities. Once he was arrested, officers say he first told them he wasn't involved in the incident, then told them, "It was simply a hug."
A judge set his bond at $7,500 and ordered him to have no contact with the victim.
May ran as a Republican candidate for one of two South Dakota House seats in the 2022 election.
The winning candidates were his mother, incumbent Elizabeth May (R) and Peri Pourier (D).
Norma Rendon came in third, and Bud came in fourth, with two fewer votes than Rendon.
According to Argus Leader, May had also been in court Monday for reportedly driving with expired plates and without insurance.
He also apparently has three outstanding warrants from before the election, though it is unclear what the charges are.
