Grandpa Arrested For Raping His Step-Granddaughter after He Got her Drunk

A 77-year-old man, James Allen, has been under arrest for raping his step-granddaughter after the 20-year-old woman posted a video online of him raping her while she was drunk.

The victim, whose identity is not revealed, was reportedly warped with alcohol by Allen and when she was woozy, he raped her at his home in Marblehead, Ohio.

The young lady’s friends saw the footage on social media platform and called police in Marblehead, Ohio. The friend had asked officers to conduct a welfare check in the early hours of the morning which led to the arrest and arraignment of Allen Tuesday morning.

When police came to the house, officers were allowed in by Mr. Allen who led them upstairs where they saw the molested woman in an impaired state. The victim was taken for medical attention and was later discharged.

Police have confirmed that the woman was allegedly raped by her step-grandfather. Authorities say the young woman was intoxicated at the time after being given alcohol by her grandmother's new partner.

They also added that the young lady was seen in the clip, several times, protesting against Mr. Allen’s sexual advances.

According to the police chief of Danbury Township, Michael Meisler, the woman was staying with her grandmother and Allen at the time of the alleged sexual misconduct.

Ottawa County Prosecutor, James VanEerten, has said he believes the footage clearly shows a sexual assault taking place. According to him, it is not clear if the victim live-streamed the attack or uploaded the video after.

 VanEerten further says it seems the woman was impaired as she recorded the video.

The 77-year-old grandpa is being held on a $1 million bond. He appeared in court on Wednesday and told a judge that he did not have an attorney but had plans on hiring one.
