The Greene County Prosecutor’s Office now says only one juvenile arrest has been made in connection to the alleged Fairborn rape.

“The one juvenile has been charged and has been in custody,” said Elizabeth Ellis, of the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office.

Ellis said the arrested male is now 18, but was a juvenile at the time of the incident and is being treated as such. He is charged with two counts rape and two counts sexual battery.

Ellis said the male juvenile was arrested “some time ago because there was concern he would leave the jurisdiction.”
