Man accused of raping deaf girl claims he thought she was her mother - KFOR
A young Oklahoma girl tells her mom she was sexually assaulted, attacked while sleeping in her own home. Chickasha police say they have the prime suspect in custody.
Tristian "Rosco" Bowens, 25, sits in the Grady County jail Monday, four days after allegedly raping the 10-year-old daughter of a friend.
Police say the girl's mother invited Bowens to spend the night early Thursday morning because he was locked out of his residence.
According to police, Bowens claims his encounter with the girl was a case of mistaken identity in the middle of the night.
They say at 5:30 a.m. Thursday, the mother heard her daughter crying.
An arrest affidavit says the girl, who is deaf, told her mom that Bowens had hurt her "down there."
Police say later that day, the girl's mother got a phone call from Bowens saying he went into the bedroom that night because he thought the mother was in there.
He said he was sorry and did not realize he was with the girl until she cried out.
"There's a big difference between a 10-year-old child and an adult female," Chickasha Police Major Elip Moore said. "It should be noticeable enough that it's just not acceptable."
Bowens was arrested later that day at a friend's apartment.
Grady County District Attorney Jason Hicks says Bowens has three prior convictions involving identity theft and drug possession.
If convicted of first-degree rape, he could spend 20 years to life in prison.
Bowens is being held on a $500,000 bond and is due back in court July 6.
