A Waterbury man accused of raping and holding a woman against her will last year is headed to trial.  44-year old Ralph Whyte was charged in January after turning himself in to police.  An investigation was launched in March 2018 after an acquaintance reported the alleged incident that happened at his Padanaram Road office. The pair went to dinner and Whyte asked her to help move some things.  According to the affidavit cell phone records showed she searched “sexual assault hotline,” “What is sexual assault,”“Was I raped?”and self defense classes.  The victim called the Women's Center hotline and was advised to go to the hospital for asexual assault kit, and call  police.  Police later obtained a DNA sample, which matched evidence collected in the victim’s sexual assault kit.  Whyte is free on bond and due in court October 23rd.
