A State College man is in custody following an alleged assault at a local motel. Authorities say 38-year-old Robert Wason arranged a sexual encounter with a woman he met online, only to allegedly assault her after handcuffing her to the bed. The victim reported that Wason, posing as a police officer, attempted to suffocate her with a pillow. She managed to fight back and escape, prompting Wason to flee with her belongings. Police later found blood-stained handcuffs and the victim’s purse in Wason’s possession. He faces multiple charges, including rape and aggravated assault, and is being held on $135,000 bail.
