COLORADO SPRINGS — Two Fort Carson soldiers have been charged with the rape of a Colorado Springs high school student last fall, according to court papers released Wednesday to The Gazette.

Prosecutors allege Spc. Noel A. Acevedo-Mercado and Pfc. John C. Donathan met the 17-year-old girl at a teen party off Lower Gold Camp Road and later attacked her in a bedroom of her home. The girl said both men held her down during intercourse and changed positions when one of them said “switch,” according to a police report.

A police investigator wrote in the report that he asked Acevedo-Mercado about the girl saying “no” during the alleged encounter last October.

“You know how it is with women,” the soldier told the investigator after chuckling, according to the arrest affidavit. “You can’t win so you just say what they want.”
