A man is accused of sexually assaulting a woman — who police say is developmentally delayed — March 14 at an outdoor restroom near a Vancouver community center and park. Scott Huffine, 57, of Vancouver appeared Tuesday in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of second-degree rape and unlawful imprisonment. His bail was set at $100,000, and he is scheduled to be arraigned April 1. Investigators say that at about 2 p.m., Huffine approached the woman outside of the Marshall/Luepke Community Center and began talking to her. The woman told police she did not know Huffine and that he told her to come with him to have sex. She said no and that she needed to go home to her dog, according to a probable cause affidavit. Video footage shows Huffine pulling the woman toward the outdoor restrooms between the community center and Marshall Park. The woman told police he took off her clothes and raped her. He then wouldn’t let her leave the restroom until he got dressed again and followed her out, court records state. The affidavit says the woman is cognitively and developmentally delayed and can’t make decisions for herself. The woman completed a sexual assault exam, which was sent to a lab for testing, court records state.
