A Washburn University graduate assistant football coach was arrested early Monday in connection with a rape and kidnapping reported this weekend.

Jesse Robert Bubke, 22, was booked into the Shawnee County Jail just before 2:30 a.m. Monday in connection with aggravated battery, kidnapping, criminal restraint and rape, according to jail records.

Bubke is a graduate assistant coaching defensive backs. Calls to Washburn’s athletic department were forwarded to Patrick Early, director of university relations. Early said he couldn’t comment on Bubke’s arrest.

"This is an ongoing investigation into something that happened off campus," he said. "We’ll help the investigating agency in any way."

Topeka police Lt. Colleen Stuart said that just before 5 p.m. Sunday, the victim went to police headquarters and reported she was kidnapped from the Wild Horse Salon and taken to Bubke’s home sometime during the weekend. She was allowed to leave the residence after the assault, Stuart said.

Detectives served a search warrant at Bubke’s home, interviewed him and then made the arrest, Stuart said.

Bubke remained in jail as of 12:20 p.m. Tuesday with a bond listed at $100,000 cash or surety.
