Man charged with raping stepdaughter

From Staff Reports
POSTED: June 17, 2008

An Amesville man was arrested Saturday and charged with sexually assaulting his 14-year-old stepdaughter, the sheriff's office announced.

Milton R. Roberts Jr., 40, is being held in the Washington County Jail on a $500,000 bond, according to a Marietta Municipal Court clerk.

The sheriff's office was contacted by Children Services in Athens County about an assault that occurred when the 14-year-old girl, who lives in Jacksonville, Ohio, was visiting relatives in Amesville in January or February, according to a release from Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.

Roberts admitted giving the girl the alcohol, removing her pants and assaulting her, the release says. He was arrested and charged with rape.

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in municipal court.

No, he won't enjoy torture. Real torture involves actual pain and punishment. Here, we just "love" them, and they will be rehabilitated. What a joke.

I made that comment because you people will jump on anything said on here. You people need to get a life and let the law take care of the situation.

thanks returnserve for the correction on my spelling... brianw he's admitted to everything he is accused of so maybe you should pay closer attention to the article before commenting!! i think he would enjoy torture because that is what he done on the 14 year old step daughter.

That is a good start of torture. How also about daily paper cuts all over and then a nice refreshing lemon juice bath.

He'll go to prison for this one... do you know what they do to pedophiles in prison? And he'll deserve every second of it.

Well, I hope all the "do-gooders" have their say. Just feed, clothe, house him for many years. That will fix him! No, the only he will learn not to re-offend is to torture him for a long time. If he gets out and does re-offend (not likely), then we go to the next level which he will not be able to tolerate.

Are you serious BrianW? He admitted to giving her alcohol, and the rest. I don't think a conviction will matter to you, either. And Buttercup, there's no "e" in castration and that probably wouldn't stop him anyway. Just an area with a ridiculously high rate of pedophilia. Prison's the only place for them.

Leave the man alone. He hasn't even been convicted yet.
