MILFORD
Rape of infant alleged
A Milford man remained jailed Wednesday on charges he raped and physically assaulted a 7-week-old girl. Joseph Warner Sorah, 34, was charged with rape and child endangering after doctors at Cincinnati Children's Hospital determined the baby had been assaulted. Police Chief Mark Machan said two women flagged down an officer at a city event Friday when the baby began vomiting. The officer noticed unusual bruises and abrasions and asked Children's Hospital medical staff to fully examine the baby. Some of her injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome, the chief said. The baby remains in Children's Hospital. Police arrested Sorah on Tuesday. He appeared Wednesday for arraignment in Clermont County Municipal Court and is scheduled to appear again June 15 for a hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial.
