Memphis man accused of raping woman at Lincoln University

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man from Memphis, Tennessee, is accused of raping a woman on Lincoln University’s campus on Oct. 23.

Tyshawn Tate was charged on Monday in Cole County with second-degree rape. A warrant was issued and no bond was set. Court documents claim Tate has moved back to Memphis, Tennessee.

The probable cause statement from LUPD says Tate allegedly raped a woman who went to his room to watch a movie. Court documents say Tate forced himself on the woman after she said “I’m not here for that.”

The statement says Tate prevented the alleged victim from leaving the room while he was awake, but the victim eventually got away after the assault after Tate fell asleep.
