Point Marion man charged with rape
A 34-year-old Point Marion man who was charged Tuesday with raping a 12-year-old girl, molested the child on more than one occasion, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case. Kevin Dewayne Cole of 155 Clark St. Ext. was charged with rape, involuntary deviant sexual intercourse, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault before Magisterial District Judge Randy Abraham.
State police trooper David Bell said the victim told officers that the first alleged sexual contact occurred about one month ago when she was spending the night at Cole’s Springhill Township residence with an unidentified friend who lives there.
Bell said the girl reported that after she fell asleep, she awoke when Cole touched her inappropriately in several different areas of her body.
The girl told Bell that she again went to Cole’s house Friday evening to spend the weekend with her friend, Bell said.
Bell said the girl told police she was “half-asleep” on the couch in the living room Sunday morning around 3 a.m. when Cole, who had been sleeping on the floor, got up and began to touch her inappropriately.
Additionally Bell said the girl told investigators that Cole had brief sexual intercourse with her and then left the living room.
Cole was placed in the Fayette County Prison on $50,000 straight cash bond.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 12 before Abraham.
