A 32-year-old Lake County man has been arrested on charges of raping an 8-year-old girl.
Madison Township police say they received a complaint regarding the incident last month. Following "an extensive investigation and the collection of evidence," Madison resident Michael C. Brown was taken into custody before being arraigned Tuesday in Painesville Municipal Court.
Brown's bond has been set at $250,000. Should he post it, he will be forced to live under house arrest with a GPS monitoring device. He is scheduled to appear in court again for a preliminary hearing on the afternoon of Dec. 26.
The investigation into this case remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Tim Doyle of the Madison Township Police Department.
