The man accused of raping a 19-year-old mentally disabled man in a Miller Park bathroom will appear in court Thursday afternoon.
Gyasi Terran, 24, has yet to enter a plea and has appeared several times since police arrested him on suspicion of raping the teen in the early morning hours of June 4. An awkward sexual encounter ensued between the two, beginning with the promise of a cigarette, according to police interviews and reports. Terran told police the encounter was consensual, according to an interview transcript in the court file.
