Girl, 3, comes forward to alert cops about pedophile who ‘raped her and three others aged between two and seven’
A PEDOPHILE has been arrested for allegedly raping young kids after a three-year-old girl told police last year he had attacked her and her sister, according to officials.
John Dalton Tucker, 21, is accused of raping at least four children — between the ages of two and seven — since 2011, when he was 13 years old.
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Tucker confessed to police in Springfield Township, Ohio that he assaulted the kids.
He is said to have nodded in court yesterday following his arrest when a police detective said he admitted to the criminal acts.
Police started investigating the man after a three-year-old girl “came forward alleging she and her younger sister were raped by Tucker,” per the report.
Detective Sean McBride told the news outlet another law enforcement agency investigated Tucker in 2019, but he fled the state.
Cops have identified at least four victims, and McBride said at least one more potential victim has been identified.
He added that before Tucker’s case goes before a grand jury, more victims could be identified.
Police haven’t said how Tucker knows his alleged victims, or whether they’re related.
