“Protecting children is a top priority of the United States Marshals Service and our law enforcement partners. Those accused of sexually assaulting children have nowhere to hide in Ohio,” said Michael D. Black, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio.
Rosales was charged last week in Dayton Municipal Court with two counts of rape of a victim under 13, two counts of sexual battery and one count of sexual conduct with a minor.
According to court documents, a young teen told a family member about the abuse, and the family member contacted Dayton police.
During a forensic interview, the girl said Rosales had sexually assaulted her since she was 12, and had most recently happened on July 15, documents said.
Rosales and his family were in the news earlier this year during a search for his son, 7-year-old Lucas Rosales, who went missing April 29 while fishing with his family near Harshman Road and Eastwood MetroPark in Dayton. The child’s body was recovered May 13 from the Great Miami River in downtown Dayton.
