Man faces rape charges
Allegations involve two Independence girls

NEWPORT — A Bellevue man accused of having sex with two teen-age girls April 5 will be arraigned in Campbell District Court today. Daniel Dickerson, 22, turned himself in to Newport police Thursday after warrants were issued for two counts of rape, one count of sodomy and one count of use of a minor in a sexual performance.
He was being confined in the Campbell County Detention Center under $100,000 bond.
Newport Police Sgt. Jerry Roy, the investigator in the case, said Thursday that Mr. Dickerson also was on parole at the time of the offenses and that a parole holder would probably be issued, meaning he would have to stay in jail. Authorities said two girls, 13 and 14, both from Independence, met a man from Harrison, Ohio, on a telephone chat line.
That man introduced them to Mr. Dickerson and another man at a pizza parlor in Cincinnati.
The girls later went to an apartment on Washington Street in Newport, where Mr. Dickerson was living, police said.
Eventually they were driven back to Independence by the other man, police said.
No charges had been filed against the second man as of Thursday, but police continued to investigate the incident.
