NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) - A Delaware man accused of raping an 11-year-old girl who he and his wife often babysat has been extradited back to the state from Florida.
David Seeney, 44, was transferred from Pinellas County, Florida, to New Castle, Delaware, on Tuesday to face charges of first-degree rape, dangerous crime against a minor, criminal sexual contact, sexual abuse of a child by a person of trust and unlawful sexual contact, news outlets reported. He was arrested last month by St. Petersburg police, court documents showed.
The victim told police she was at Seeney’s home for a birthday party and sleepover in August when the rape happened, according to arrest warrants obtained by The Delaware News Journal. The girl was watching a movie with Seeney, her two siblings and her mother when everyone fell asleep, and Seeney carried her upstairs and sexually assaulted her, investigators wrote.
The girl and her siblings would often spend the night with Seeney and his wife while their mother was away for work, court documents said.
