Man indicted in child rape case involving 7-year-old in Warren County

A 27-year-old man indicted in by a Warren County grand jury is accused of recording sexual conduct with a 7-year-old and sharing the video with the child earlier this month in Deerfield Twp.

Tyler James Hagens of Forest Park in suburban Cincinnati is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Warren County Common Pleas court for four counts of rape, two counts of attempted rape, one count of gross sexual imposition, eight counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor and one count of tampering with evidence, according to the indictment announced Monday by the county prosecutor’s office.

Hagens is held on $500,000 bail in the Warren County Jail.

He reportedly “forced a 7-year-old victim to engage in sexual conduct, recorded the sexual conduct and disseminated the video to the victim,” according to his indictment.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office on April 13 issued a public plea for help finding Hagens a day after charges were filed against him in Mason Municipal Court.

He was believed to be driving a 2011 Chevrolet Impala and was known to be armed with a handgun, the sheriff’s office said.
