THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) --- A man is accused of raping a 19-year-old woman who was sitting on a park bench in the Bronx last week while she begged him to stop, prosecutors said.

Xavier Chapman, 30, told investigators he sexually assaulted the 19-year-old woman in Washington Park at East 183rd Street in the Bronx at around 3 a.m. on Sept, 17, according to the criminal complaint.

The victim was sitting on a bench when Chapman walked up to her with his private area exposed and forced her head to touch the area, authorities said.

The woman then pushed him and yelled for help as she said, "Stop" and "No," according to court records.

Chapman then ran off before he was arrested on Friday and charged with rape, sexual abuse, forcible touching, and sexual misconduct, authorities said.
