Raped by boyfriend's twin brother

So I met up with a couple of friends last Friday, sitting around and talking, when I had a passing thought - would someone who has a crush on a person with a twin, inevitably have a minor crush on his/her twin? Then, Sany told me she read somewhere about some guy pretending to be his twin for sex. Though it doesn't really answer my question, it brought up another possible complication to being romantically involved with identical twins.

I looked it up and it's quite a recent event back in August. Apparently, this woman has been dating this guy, Joe Rohrig, since March. Joe happens to have an identical twin brother, Jared Rohrig, living with him. One day, Jared called the woman up on the pretense that he's Joe and asked her over to their family home. So she came over and even though Jared seemed to behave oddly, it wasn't enough for her to think it wasn't him. They got into a hot tub, made out, and finally went to bed upstairs and was in the midst of having sex when, *gasp, she noticed that Joe's cowboy tattoo on his left butt cheek was gone.

Realising the gravity of the situation, the poor woman started crying and demanding to know where the tattoo disappeared to. Jared (still pretending to be Joe) then said he never had a tattoo and that she must have been hooking up with his brother behind his back. That was the confirmation that it was not the same guy she had been sleeping with. She tried to leave, but he grabbed her back to bed, covered her face with a pillow and continued to rape her.

After the whole traumatic ordeal, he sent her home (or, tried to) in his car. He got lost and didn't know the way back to her place even though Joe has been to her place multiple times.

In the arrest affidavit, she asked Jared, "When did you think I was going to find out? When I realized you didn't have a tattoo? When we didn't use Joe's car to drive home? Or when you didn't know how to get to my house because you've never been there?"

It sounds like a joke story initially but turned out to be so real. I just feel terribly sorry for the woman. And one of the most furious things about this event was the fact that Jared was on his way to becoming a police officer. With 'officers' like him, who can trust the law enforcers? What he did was just a betrayal of trust on so many different unspeakable levels. Rape is already bad enough, the idea of raping someone who means so much to your best friend/family. And so reports have said, he was not only going to lose his job, he was going to lose his best friend - his twin brother.

He is to be arraigned on Sept 8 (tomorrow). He might as well continue acting as his brother in jail. I don't think his cellmates nor guards will take lightly to the knowledge he was training to be an officer.
