• RAPE: At 1:30 a.m. Saturday, police responded to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center for a rape report. The victim said she was at the corner of Third and Niagara streets and saw a male sitting on a bench. The male appeared to be staring at her, so she walked over to see if she knew him. The victim said she didn’t know him, but they began to talk. As the victim started walking on Third toward Main Street, the man caught up to her and they began talking about God. The male then told the woman to take the old water treatment service road because it was a shortcut. As they were walking down that road, the suspect began saying things of a sexual nature to the victim. After raping her, the man took the woman’s cell phone and four gold rings. The victim then ran to her son’s house and was taken to the hospital. An investigation is continuing.
• DISORDERLY CONDUCT: Joseph F. Currie, 58, 414 26th St., Apt. 2, was charged at 11:15 p.m. Friday with disorderly conduct and exposure of a person.

He was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Currie is due in court at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
