A Fayette County man is accused of having sexual relations on multiple occasions with his ex-girlfriend’s minor daughter.
Court records show Joseph Dean Martin, 28, of Uniontown, is charged with rape of a child, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault, indecent assault on a person under 13 and corruption of minors, all felonies.
According to the criminal complaint, police received reports Sunday of a sexual assault involving a 12-year-old girl.
The girl’s mother told police that Martin is her ex-boyfriend, with whom she has two biological children. The 12-year-old girl has a different father, but Martin maintained a relationship with her after he and her mother separated.
On Saturday, the mother said, she allowed Martin and her daughter to go see a movie starting at 7:45 p.m. He became worried when they didn’t return until 1 a.m. the next day.
Confronted by her mother, the girl said she and Martin had sex in his car at a cemetery after the movie, records state.
The girl told police that she had had consensual sexual relations with Martin for the past two years, since she was 10, and that she had hidden the relationship from her mother, records state.
He claimed that after the movie, they went to a gas station where Martin bought condoms and ibuprofen. She said they then went to the cemetery and had sex in her car, records state.
Police say license plate readers showed Martin’s car traveling to a cemetery in North Union Township around 11:48 p.m. Saturday.
Surveillance footage showed Martin inside a gas station in South Greensburg around 11:10 p.m., and receipts showed he purchased condoms and ibuprofen, police say.
Interviewed by police on Tuesday, Martin allegedly confessed to having sexual relations with the girl, as well as on three separate occasions.
Court records show Martin is being held in the Fayette County Jail and has been denied bail.
