A Bristol native has been indicted by a Rhode Island Grand Jury for raping a woman in a Bristol park at 1 a.m. on a July night more than a year ago.

According to prosecutors, Darian Hakeem, who was 23 at the time, raped a woman he knew, who was 20 at the time, at about 1 a.m. on July 12, 2016, inside Coelho Park. The three-acre park is in a neighborhood setting, just off Hopeworth Avenue, surrounded by homes on three sides.

According to Public Information Officer Amy Kempe of the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office, the victim went to Newport Hospital for treatment that same morning, and the hospital performed a rape kit evaluation. The woman reported the alleged assault to the Bristol Police Department the next day.

Though originally from Bristol, Mr. Hakeem was living in Florida at the time of the incident. According to his Facebook page, he is, or was, a beach attendant at the Boca Grande Beach Club. According to Ms. Kempe, Bristol Police conducted an initial investigation of the case before eventually turning it over to the attorney general’s office about a year later. She said the attorney’s general’s office quickly moved the case to a Grand Jury, which resulted in a secret indictment on Aug. 9 on two counts of first-degree sexual assault.

After that, a warrant was issued for Mr. Hakeem’s arrest. Two months later, he was taken into custody in North Carolina and charged with being a fugitive from justice. He was extradited to Rhode Island, and he pleaded not guilty to the charges on Oct. 26.

After spending some time at the ACI, he was released on $100,000 bail with surety, and he was ordered to remain in home confinement and have no contact with the victim. According to Bristol Police Capt. Brian Burke, he identified the residence for his home confinement as 323 New Meadow Road in Barrington. According to Ms. Kempe, Mr. Hakeem’s parents live in Little Compton.

Mr. Hakeem is scheduled for a pretrial conference on Nov. 29.

Ms. Kempe explained that the two sexual assault charges stem from the same incident, indicating he was charged for multiple actions during the same alleged assault, not for two separate assaults.
