Bloomington Man Charged With Rape in Northfield Hotel

A Bloomington man faces up to 60 years in prison after allegedly raping a pregnant woman in a Northfield hotel.

Tory Anton Matejcek, 21, made his first appearance in Rice County District Court on Monday after being arrested over the weekend. He's charged with first-degree rape and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly forcing himself on and penetrating a helpless woman. The most serious charge carries a 30-year prison sentence. He also faces $100,000 in fines.

Following his court appearance on Monday, Matejcek posted cash bail and was released.

According to the criminal complaint filed with the court:

The alleged victim's cousin picked her up on Thursday in Bloomington and Matejcek later joined them. That evening, another person joined them and Matejcek said they should get a hotel room in Northfield. He offered to pay for it.

They arrived at the hotel around 11:30 p.m. Between 2 and 3 a.m., the alleged victim went to sleep in the same bed as Matejcek. A few hours later, the girl told Northfield Police she woke up with Matejcek on top of her and trying to pull her pants down. She told him "no" and to stop, the complaint says.

The complaint says Matejcek had sex with the girl for 10 minutes. She told him she was pregnant and he was hurting her. He finally stopped and the girl went to the bathroom and called her cousin to pick her up.

The girl said Matejcek later texted and called her, saying "it didn't happen."

The girl, with Northfield Police with her, called Matejcek, who said he didn't believe it could have happened and he had never done anything like that.

Police later found Matejcek in Faribault.

He told officers he had been in the hotel room with the girl and drinking alcohol but could recall the night clearly. He admitted he and the alleged victim were in the same bed and had sexual intercourse. He said it was consensual. He said after five or six minutes the girl asked him to stop. He said she asked one or two more times for him to stop before he did.

In 2007, Matejcek was convicted of burglary and underage drinking and driving.
