A West Virginia man mistakenly confessed to a date rape while interviewing for a probation officer job in South Charleston and is now facing sexual assault charges.
Instead of landing a job, Tyler Ray Price, landed behind bars.
Police said during an interview for the officer's job Feb. 8, Price, 31, admitted he'd been out drinking with a woman, had a sexual encounter with her, then used his phone to record her, according to a report by WCHS TV.
Police later interviewed the victim who said she never consented and had no memory of the sexual encounter or being videotaped.
