According to DeKalb Police, the alleged incident happened Thursday night.
Investigators said DeKalb Police responded to a pool on Park Drive in Lithonia.
The alleged victim is a 27-year-old woman. Police said they collected evidence and got victim and witness statements.
Then, investigators interviewed Officer Wilborn, who was taken into custody afterward. He's charged with rape, aggravated assault, and violation of oath of office.
