The crime allegedly involved a 15-year-old in a vehicle on the Newton High School parking lot during lunch break, according to Powell.
Police picked up 18-year old Samuel Loomis at the school, took him to the police station for questioning and made the arrest.
In addition to rape, Loomis is charged with unlawful voluntary sexual relations and aggravated indecent liberties with a child between 14 and 16, according to the Harvey County inmate report.
