MILFORD. Ohio -- A 34-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of raping his 7-week-old baby, News 5's Bina Roy reported.
The baby girl also has a broken leg, a broken wrist and bruises on her chest, nose and legs, Roy reported.
The baby's mother, Shannon Sorah, said her husband, Joseph Warner Sorah, admitted sexually assaulting his daughter.
"He admitted to doing it when no one was around," she said.
She said he slept next to the child's crib in another room.
"He said the reason why he wanted her to sleep in there was so I could get my sleep," she said.
Shannon Sorah said her husband had beaten her and their 2-year-old son, but she never imagined he could rape the baby.
"He's had problems. He needs help. He's sick. He's sick in a perverted way," she said through tears.
The baby's uncle, James Carpenter, said he never suspected anything.
"He's never really worked a job or anything. He's just a bum, basically. I never thought he was a child molester," Carpenter said.
Sorah was arraigned Wednesday on rape and child endangering charges and is being held in the Clermont County jail on $500,000 bond. He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted, Roy reported.
"I don't want anything to happen to him, anything bad, but he deserves it right now," his wife said.
Milford police said they discovered the crime after two women called paramedics to examine the baby.
Paramedics and police found scarring and other signs of abuse on the infant.
A later exam later revealed the rape, police said.
The baby will be turned over to Protective Services when she recovers, Roy reported.
Why do you think I have this tagline?
I live in this area and heard this on the radio this morning. I almost threw up. How could anyone do this?
Concur. As the Apache once said, "Act like mad dog, treat like mad dog."
This mother was headed for Neverland.
I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. This is so horrible. Milford is the little town where I was born and raised and still live. Thank God I don't know this animal.
He doesn't deserve to live so perhaps that would be as close to justice as can be.
Kill it, get the crashcart, shock back to life, repeat till totally dead and smoking.
I'm from Milford and this was on the news last night while I was trying to fall asleep. I told my husband I don't want to listen to the news at night, before bed, ever again. This is awful.
This is a first for me - an article on FR so sick I am at loss for words.
I can't deicde weither, immersion in Boiling water or 16M HCL would be better.
raped a 7 week old baby--ohmigosh!--disgusting and morally offensive. The pervert needs his appendage that he prizes so highly hacked off for starters.
I'm all for V E R Y S L O W Torture, and then turn him over to the police.
This one makes me cry.
There is a special fate awaiting him in prison. Unfortunately he won't last very long.
Exactly - he beat a 2 year old and she continued to let him live?
I completely understand. I lived in Milford and now live in Batavia.
I couldn't sleep last night after hearing about this and it has been on my mind all day. I'm surprised this wasn't already posted.
Mike, you just don't think this kind of stuff can happen around here. I'm just sick about this. How could anybody do something like this to a sweet, innocent child?
Yeah, you're right. I just hope this piece of pure evil will die a la Jeffrey Dahmer.
Not necessarily better care is given by the state. You haven't read all the stories of the kids in foster care and the perverts/scum who see the foster care system as a way to get their next victim.
However, they obviously can't stay with their idiotic, brain-dead "mother", either, even if the "father" is on jail. Who knows what other scumbag she'd have move in with her.
