Police: Suspect Confessed To Crime
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Prosecutors are looking to send a suspected child rapist to jail, and the suspect's own words might help them do it.
A 19-year-old man was arrested and charged with the rape of a 2-year-old relative, NBC 4 reported.
Mark Badley is accused of raping the girl in his home in June.
Police said Badley confessed to the crime, but prosecutors said the victim's age poses a challenge.
"Obviously, that victim is not going to testify. You have challenge on admissibility of evidence and trying to corroborate any other information that you get from the relatives who reported it in the first place," said Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien.
Badley will be arraigned in court on Friday.
