- Pennsylvania officer Justin Hain is facing several sexual assault charges.
- According to an affidavit, Hain told his accuser he didn't "intentionally rape" her.
- Police say Hain forcibly pinned the woman to a couch and assaulted her after she got out of the shower.
A Pennsylvania police officer charged with sexually assaulting a woman told her he didn't "intentionally rape" her, court documents show.
Justin Hain, an officer for the Steelton Burough Police Department in Pennsylvania, was charged with rape on January 11, court documents show.
Court records show that Hain is facing four felony charges and two misdemeanors. He faces felony charges of forcible compulsion, rape by forcible compulsion, and two counts of sexual assault. He faces two misdemeanor charges of indecent assault.
In an affidavit obtained by Penn Live, police said they responded on Wednesday to the home of a woman who said she knew Hain personally.
Police said the woman told them that Hain approached her when she got out of the shower with a "weird grin" and she told him not to touch her.
Hain then pulled the woman's towel off and pinned her to a couch before sexually assaulted her while she repeatedly told him "no," the affidavit said, according to Penn Live.
The woman then waited for Hain to go to work before contacting police at a friend's house, the document said. She called Hain on Wednesday and told him she shouldn't have to fear being raped in her own home, Penn live reported.
"I'm deeply sorry," Hain said, according to the affidavit. "I didn't intentionally rape you."
When she asked Hain why he continued to have sex with her after she told him to stop, he replied that he knew the woman was "not into it," Penn Live reported.
"It's probably one of my deplorables, one of my things," Hain said, according to the affidavit.
Dauphin County District Attorney Francis Chardo told WHTM, a local ABC affiliate, that Hain worked for the police department for less than two months when he was arrested. Steelton Mayor Ciera Dent told the outlet Hain was suspended from the police department following the charges.
"In any field, there are going to be people who commit grievous offenses," Chardo said. "When that occurs, we need to take action very, very quickly to ensure that they're not continuing to carry a gun and carry a badge and potentially abuse their power."
The Steelton Borough Police Department did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment. Court records did not indicate whether Hain was being represented by an attorney.
A judge set Hain's bail at $50,000, court records showed. Chardo told the WHTM that Hain will be prohibited from contacting the woman while on bail.
