An Ohio man faces three counts each of rape and criminal deviate conduct after he allegedly had sex with the corpse of a southern Indiana woman.

Fifty-five-year-old Richard Sanden of Geneva, Ohio, also was charged Thursday with abuse of a corpse and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.

Sanden has told authorities he didn’t realize 48-year-old Rebecca Whitehead of Washington was dead when he had sex with her corpse Jan. 8 in Washington, about 50 miles northeast of Evansville. The Washington Times-Herald reports investigators have reviewed a videotape of the alleged acts.

How Whitehead died hasn’t been determined yet. The newspaper says the Daviess County coroner was still awaiting toxicology results.

Sanden is being held on $500,000 bond in the Daviess County Jail in Washington.
