WARREN -- Robert Detweiler, 26, of state Route 534 in Middlefield, was indicted Tuesday on two counts of rape, one count of kidnapping with a sexual motivation specification and 12 counts of gross sexual imposition in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
He could get about 60 years in prison if convicted on all of the charges.
Rudy Detweiler, 23, of the same address as Robert Detweiler, was indicted Tuesday on six counts of gross sexual imposition.
He could get about 15 years in prison if convicted on all of the charges.
The indictments stem from incidents that allegedly occurred Aug. 12.
The two men faced more similar charges when their cases were filed in Newton Falls Municipal Court Aug. 24. They were both arraigned in that court in late August. They were booked into the Trumbull County jail on Aug. 24 and were released Aug. 28, jail records show.
The Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office investigated allegations against the two men following notification to the sheriff’s office by an employee of Trumbull County Children Services of a “possible sex offense,” a sheriff’s office report states.
The offenses are alleged to have occurred between Aug. 12 and Aug. 18 and were reported Aug. 18, the report states. A deputy with the Trumbull County Sheriff’s Office compiled a long report, but none of the narrative was made available to the public, only information such as the names of the suspects and the remark about Children Services notifying the sheriff’s office.
Meanwhile, Warren man William A. Naylor, 41, was indicted Wednesday on a low-level misdemeanor charge of "prevention of dog acts violation," but the grand jury refused to indict him on the mid-level felony version of the offense.
It means the misdemeanor charge goes back to Warren Municipal Court for the matter to be heard there.
Naylor was facing charges in two incidents in recent months -- one that involved an 8-year-old girl allegedly being bitten by his dog near Naylor's McMyler Street NW home Sept. 15 and one for which Naylor's dog allegedly bit a woman delivering prescription drugs to Naylor's home, which he shared with his mother on June 3.
The mother of the 8-year-old told Warren Municipal Court Judge Natasha Natale that her family did not want to press any charges against Naylor for the bites her daughter suffered.
She said they took her daughter to the emergency room because of an infection. She said her daughter also didn’t want Naylor to be charged with a crime. The mother said she was there in court to understand what was happening with the case and to “support Will’s mom and Will.”
