Point Marion man charged with rape of 12-year-old girl
A warrant was issued for a man charged with rape after he allegedly asked repeatedly if he could take a 12-year-old girl’s virginity.
Bradley Ray Rice, 24, allegedly committed the rape during the summer of 2014 at his residence when his parents were upstairs sleeping.
The alleged victim later told her mother about the incident. She was interviewed in October by Charlene Morris at A Child’s Place at Mercy, according to the affidavit of probable cause.
State police Trooper Timothy Kirsch and Children and Youth Services employees observed the interview.
Kirsch wrote in the affidavit that the alleged victim said it was difficult for her to report Rice because she “loved him like a brother.”
She told Morris she kept telling him “no.” She said she felt “gross and disgusting” afterwards, according to the affidavit.
The alleged victim said she and Rice never talked about the incident.
Rice is charged with rape of a child, corruption of minors and two counts of indecent assault. Charges were filed Monday before Magisterial District Judge Daniel C. Shimshock.
