South Williamsport man charged with rape

Nicklas V. Gallick, 32, of 101 Phillips Park Drive, South Williamsport, has been locked up on charges of allegedly raping a woman while she was sleeping in his bedroom during the early-morning hours of March 20, according to an affidavit filed by borough police. The two had met just hours earlier at an exercise business, and then they went to Gallick’s apartment, where they “consumed vodka,” the court document stated. “Gallick invited the woman to stay overnight at the apartment due to her being intoxicated and having smoked marijuana,” police were told.
The woman went to sleep for a while, and when she awoke, “Gallick was naked, standing over her,” police said, adding that the woman realized her shorts “had been removed,” the affidavit stated. The woman told police that at no time did she give Gallick consent to have sex with her.
The woman claimed that Gallick became violent and “threatened her with a handgun” when she refused to have sex with him again, it was alleged in the court document. Gallick is alleged to have then “grabbed the victim by her hair, dragged her out of the apartment and put his hands around her throat” before he threw her against his car, police said.
The woman ran to a nearby apartment to get help after Gallick was distracted by his dog running from the apartment, police were told.
Arraigned Monday before District Judge Gary Whiteman on felony charges of rape of an unconscious victim, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of a person unconscious, sexual assault and strangulation as well as misdemeanor simple assault and harassment, Gallick, formerly of Nesconset, New York (on Long Island), was committed to county prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.
