A Troy police report said Pellman told others of the incident before police were called. After being interviewed by police, he was charged and jailed.
Bail was set at $250,000 on the rape charge Monday in Miami County Municipal Court. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Aug. 10, before Judge Samuel Huffman.
Pellman also was arraigned on charges of burglary and domestic violence for incidents that allegedly took place after he told other adults of the sexual assault. Additional bail of $11,000 was ordered on those charges.
Pellman was classified as a Tier I sex offender following his conviction in 2018 for felony gross sexual imposition, according to court records.
He was released in January 2020 after serving a little more than a year at the Lake Erie Correctional Institution and is on Adult Parole Authority supervision, according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation & Correction.
