Darrick Guider, 39, has been accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and getting her pregnant.
The girl had moved in with a relative in June of 2014. Guider, who was the relative’s boyfriend, also lived in the home.
According to WGN-TV, the victim told police:
One night, shortly after she moved into this home, she was watching television upstairs in the relative’s room. She was lying on the bed when the defendant came in. The defendant told her that ‘this is how [you] make money.’” She then “tried to get the relative’s attention by screaming, but the defendant put his hand over her mouth.”
Guider then allegedly assaulted the girl.
In December, the victim approached her relative to say that Guider had been “messing with her,” but the relative did not believe her.
It was not until March, when another relative noticed that the girl “appeared pregnant” that the relative took the victim to the hospital, despite the fact that a pediatrician had recommended a hospital visit in January.
At Mt. Sinai Hospital, doctors confirmed the pregnancy and told the girl that she was due “at the end of May or the beginning of June.”
If he is convicted, Guider will face up to 60 years in prison.
