\nA Louisville man was arrested Friday after allegedly hiring a woman to clean his home and then raping her.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest citation, 73 year-old Richard Conkin hired a woman based on an ad he saw on the app NextDoor. The victim allegedly was requesting babysitting or cleaning jobs.<\/p>\n
Once the victim went to Conkin\u2019s residence, police say he asked her to clean the home. While she was cleaning a bedroom in the home, Conkin allegedly pushed the victim on the bed and raped her.<\/p>\n
He allegedly told her not to scream or else it would be worse.<\/p>\n
Conkin then allegedly offered the woman $20 to not say anything. She went to the hospital and had bruising on her wrists and cuts to her knuckles.<\/p>\n
Conkin was arrested later that same day and charged with first degree rape.<\/p>\n
Conkin was given a $250,000 bond, but according to court records, he posted that on Monday. Conkin should be back in court on March 31.
