Man arrested for sexually assaulting, selling ecstasy to college student

Madison police arrested a 37-year-old man for sexually assaulting a college student after selling her ecstasy on State Street earlier in September, according to a police report.

Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said in the report Jonathan Evenson met the 22-year-old woman who was "very intoxicated" while she was out celebrating her birthday Sept. 5.

According to DeSpain, Evenson took the woman to his downtown office and later to his home on the West Side. He is accused of sexually assaulting her in both locations after providing her ecstasy.

The MPD charged Evenson with four counts of second degree sexual assault, which could include non-consensual sexual contact or intercourse involving force or violence, according to state law. He is also being charged for the sale of non-narcotic illegal substances.
