Sex Crimes detectives this evening charged a Department of Human Services case manager with rape by coercion for allegedly performing sexual acts on a female client after leading her to believe that she had to submit to his advances in exchange for help in obtaining food stamps.

Darius Willis, 38, of Nashville, was arrested this afternoon at his DHS office inside Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The 28-year-old victim reports that she went to Willis’ office Thursday to discuss Medicaid and food stamp issues.  She said that Willis raped her in the office while implying that if she did not go along with his advances, approval for food stamps would be less likely.  The victim contacted police Thursday afternoon and confronted Willis today while detectives monitored the conversation.  Willis acknowledged the sexual contact both in that conversation and subsequent questioning by police.

Willis, who has no prior arrest history in Nashville, is being held in lieu of $100,000 bond.
