A New Bloomfield man who had previously been caught as a peeping tom in the area, was charged today (Tuesday) with raping a girl in August.

19-year-old Dakota McGuire, was charged in Callaway County with first-degree statutory rape of a child younger than 14 years old. He is being held at the Callaway County Jail without bond. A court date has not been scheduled.

The probable cause statement says the girl spoke with law enforcement the day after the assault and a sexual assault kit determined she was raped.

According to court documents, McGuire spoke with the victim on Snapchat the morning of Aug. 10 between 3-5 a.m. The victim allegedly told McGuire to go to sleep when he stated he wanted to go to her residence, the statement says

McGuire then allegedly went to the victim’s home, entered the girl’s bedroom window and allegedly pressured the girl into sex and raped her, the statement says.

McGuire originally denied the allegation, claiming he was home asleep at 3 a.m., but he later admitted to sexually assaulting the victim.
McGuire also exchanged nude photographs with the victim prior to the rape, the statement says.
