According to the San Francisco Gate, a 24-year-old victim says she was kidnapped and raped by Darrious Mathis in a CVS parking lot over two years ago.

“He had told me to get in the car and I actually begged him to take my car. I had pushed my wallet that was in my hand and my keys toward him and I was like ‘Please take my car. You can take my cards and everything,” she reportedly said.

Mathis denies the allegations and says the woman approached him in the parking lot to buy some pills.

"He walked up to her with a bottle of Vicodin and said, 'Wanna buy some pills? She said, "Sure," get in. We'll go to the ATM," defense attorney Carter Clayton said, according to WSBTV.

In fact, according to the SF Gate, Mathis' defense team contends that any sex the two had was consensual because of their client's good looks and handsome features. They reportedly say that she became infatuated with him during the pill transaction and willingly became his sexual partner.

The team has also pointed to the victim giving her phone number to Mathis as a sign their client is innocent.

The re-trial for the case began Wednesday, after a judge previously declared a mistrial after about four days of deliberations.

Mathis is also facing weapons and assault charges, according to the SF Gate.
