A Park Forest man was found guilty this month of raping a woman two years ago in Munster, Indiana.

A 40-year-old woman went to Community Hospital in Munster on April 19, 2021, and reported she had been raped. 

Further investigation by Munster police led to search warrants and a charge for Westbrook. The case against Westbrook went to trial on Nov. 6 and two days later he was found guilty.

Westbrook, of Park Forest, has a sentencing date scheduled for Dec. 21.

Indiana State Police, Community Hospital and the Lake County Prosecutor's Office also contributed in the investigation.
