An Internal Revenue Service agent has been charged with raping and choking a summer intern in his government-issued car after inviting her for drinks after work, prosecutors said.
The Boston-based agent, James Clarke, 44 — who was indicted Wednesday on charges that include aggravated rape and strangulation — attacked the 21-year-old woman after offering her a ride to a train station from a bar on July 26, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said.
Clarke allegedly handcuffed the intern while parked inside his IRS-owned car at the Government Center garage in Boston, where he “assaulted her with his service firearm and subjected her to sexual acts against her will,” according to the district attorney’s office.
Clarke then drove the victim to South Station and allegedly assaulted her inside the car again. The woman immediately called police and was later treated at a hospital.
