Police have arrested 29-year-old Jerrod Middleton for allegedly raping a teen girl.
Thursday authorities charged Middleton with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor under 11 and one count of second degree sexual assault.
In February the 13-year-old victim told an official at her school that the suspect had been raping her for years. The victim told officials the suspect had touched her inappropriately the previous evening until she begged him to stop.
The suspect reportedly threatened the victim and her friend if they ever told anyone.
The victim and a sibling were placed in protective custody by the Department of Social Services.
