LAKEPORT, Calif. – Police have arrested a local man for allegedly raping a female acquaintance.
Charles Peter Lamb, 30, of Lakeport was arrested at 8:30 a.m. Monday by Lakeport Police Officer Joe Eastham, according to Lake County Jail records.
Lamb’s booking records show he was booked on a felony count of rape by force or fear of injury.
Sgt. Kevin Odom said that on Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastham was dispatched to St. Helena Hospital Clearlake on the report of a female who was being treated there for a sexual assault that occurred in the city of Lakeport.
Eastham responded to the hospital and contacted the alleged victim, a local woman in her 20s, who identified Lamb as her attacker, Odom said.
Odom said Eastham investigated the case and arrested Lamb the morning after the initial interview with the alleged victim.
Police aren’t offering many details on the circumstances surrounding the alleged rape.
Asked about how Lamb and the woman knew each other, Odom would only say that they were acquainted.
Lamb’s bail was set at $100,000. He remained in the Lake County Jail on Tuesday.
Odom said Lamb is expected to be arraigned in Lake County Superior Court on Wednesday.
