Police Seeking Man For Questioning In Rape Of Handicapped Woman

Benson Police are asking for the publics help in locating a man wanted for questioning in the alleged rape of a mentally handicapped woman. The incident happened last September in a Benson Housing Authority apartment. The victim, police said was in her early-20’s, was sexually assaulted on Mule Day’s Weekend, but the attack had nothing to do with the festival. The man police want to talk with, 23-year-old Derek Tremayne McEachin of the Garner-area, has returned to Benson several times since the alleged rape but police only learned about it several days later. Anyone with any information on Derek McEachin is asked to contact Benson Police at 919-894-2091. Police reiterate he is only wanted for questioning and he has not been charged with the assault.
