Investigators say the 15-year-old girl was drunk at a party over the weekend, and woke up to Bowles having sex with her. When officers went to Bowles house, he admitted to having the sexual encounter with the girl, but told them it was consensual.
He was arraigned on a Class 2 Felony charge of 1st Degree Sexual Assault on an Incompetent Monday afternoon, with bond set at $40,000 at 10%.
