A Westminster man was being held in lieu of $7,500 bond yesterday at the Carroll County Detention Center after he was arrested on charges of raping and sexually abusing his girlfriend's daughter during a two-year period.
The man, 29, is not being named to protect the privacy of the girl, who lives in Mount Airy.
The girl's mother told police that her live-in boyfriend got her daughter drunk and raped the child, then 12, in November 1995. She told police the girl, now 15, was frequently molested, assaulted and abused until she told her mother about an alleged incident Sunday.
