A New Bloomfield man was charged on Tuesday after he was accused of raping a girl in August.
Dakota McGuire, 19, was charged in Callaway County with first-degree statutory rape of a child younger than 14 years old. He is being held at the Callaway County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.
The probable cause statement says the girl spoke with law enforcement the day after the assault and a sexual assault kit determined she was raped.
The statement says McGuire spoke with the victim on the social media application Snapchat the morning of Aug. 10 between 3-5 a.m. The victim allegedly told McGuire to go to sleep when he stated he wanted to go to her residence, the statement says
McGuire then allegedly went to the victim’s home and entered it through the victim’s bedroom window and allegedly pressured the girl into sex and raped her, the statement says.
McGuire then denied the allegation to law enforcement, claiming he never went to the home and was asleep at 3 a.m., the statement says. Police wrote that they told McGuire they had records of his conversations with the victim and that they knew he was awake during the period, court documents say.
Police also learned McGuire exchanged nude photographs with the victim prior, the statement says.
Court documents say McGuire eventually admitted to sexually assaulting the victim.
The statement says McGuire had previously been caught looking through people’s windows at their homes in New Bloomfield.
