LORAIN — Police have arrested a 20-year-old Lorain man for the alleged rape of a 5-year-old girl.
Bason
Corey A. Bason was taken into custody by police between 6:30 and 7 a.m. today, according to Lorain police Sgt. Mark Carpentiere.
Police declined to provide many details of the sexual assault, which is believed to have occurred late Monday at a home in the 6100 block of South Broadway. “It’s obviously an open investigation and we’re still in the process of talking with people,” Carpentiere said. “There is evidence at this point that a sexual assault took place.”
According to police reports, the girl’s mother, 21, was out for the evening and got a call from her sister, who was spending the evening with the 5-year-old. The sister, 23, told the mother that her daughter woke up crying and told her aunt she had been touched by Bason.
The mother drove to her sister’s residence to get the child and take her to Community Regional Medical Center. Hospital personnel advised the mother to contact the Lorain Police SANE Unit.
The girl told her mother that Bason pulled her pants down and sexually assaulted her, reports said.
When the mother confronted Bason about the incident, he denied any involvement, alleging another male who was present at the time, had assaulted the child.
“We’re obviously trying to sort out who knew who and what all the relationships were,” Carpentiere said. “That’s always the hardest part to figure out in a case like this.”
Bason was arraigned this morning in Lorain Municipal Court and is being held on a $1 million bond.

If confirmed, this should be a death sentence.
We will set here and wait for Dennis Cavanaugh to defend this guy saying how we should understand a child rapist and how he can be rehabilitated.
He should be in general population and let the other prisoners take care of him.

They can not be rehabilitated.
It seems obvious that a rape did occur. I hope they can prove which sick F**k actually did it. And as for the other person who was present (allegedly) I hope they send him away for a long time also.
This sickens me.

That poor child and her mother - hope they can heal from this.
As for another male in the room - yeah right. You just stand there while someone rapes your girlfriends daughter - I do not think so.
Castration and a long time in jail being someones b*tch is what child rapists deserve.
