Rape charges expected today against Claremont High School student

Prosecutors are expected to file rape charges this afternoon against a Claremont High School student accused of forcing a 14-year-old girl to have sex, a Claremont police spokesman said.

"We should have charges filed by this afternoon," Sgt. Robert Rauchfuss said this morning. "That's what we're hearing."

Tyler Singleton, 18, was a standout running back for the school and a potential college recruit.

He was arrested last month in connection with the alleged rape and released from custody after posting $100,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in Pomona Superior Court on Wednesday to answer to possible criminal charges.

Singleton, of Pomona, is accused of forcing the girl to have sex in the bathroom at Cahuilla Park, which is situated just north of the high school.
