A veteran Idaho cop has been charged with raping a woman he met online, authorities said.

Eric M. Simunich, a 43-year-old corporal in Boise, surrendered to the Ada County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday after a woman accused him of raping her at her home in Eagle on Sunday, sheriff officials announced Wednesday.

Simunich, an officer of nearly 20 years, met the woman online a day before and sexually assaulted her after “consensual kissing” as they watched a movie, a prosecutor said during an arraignment hearing on Thursday, according to the Idaho Statesman.

At one point, the victim left the room briefly and returned to find Simunich without pants, authorities said.

The off-duty officer then flipped the victim over and raped her — tearing off one of her fingernails as he grabbed her phone, prosecutor John Dinger said.

A sexual assault exam revealed bruises on her inner thighs, shoulder and face, according to the prosecutor.

“The victim is in complete fear of the defendant,” Dinger told a judge, who later set Simunich’s bail at $250,000.

Simunich texted the woman on Monday in an attempt to downplay what occurred, Dinger said, but he did not dispute any of the victim’s claims when she demanded that he apologize.

An attorney for Simunich — who was hired in March 2000 after working as an Idaho State Police trooper — said the officer denies the allegations in the “strongest possible terms” while arguing unsuccessfully for a judge to set no bond.

“This is a man who has served and protected the community for 20 years,” attorney Scott McKay said.

Simunich, who has been suspended from duty as his case proceeds, was no longer listed in custody as of early Friday. His next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 25, the Idaho Statesman reports.
