I'll bet he thought he got away with it. Low life.
Now, I know there is a presumption of innocence, so let me at least ask, why does it take six years to report the abuse? Why does it come out now? What precipitated the current accusation? Are there other facts which cast doubt on the accusation?

Are the guards at LCP going to have him punished before they KNOW the answers to these questions?

Aldomas I too have the same questions as you. However it might have been fear that held them up from brining it to the police or it could be a set up such as "you ticked me off I'll show you", or it could actually be true and then the LCP boys can do what ever they want. It would not hurt my feelings in the least if he is guilty. Why an 11Yr old? are there not enough women out there? Is this guy sick? If so put him out of his sickness. Presumed innocent until proven guilty what a joke. His name is smeared all over the paper without being proven guilty. I hope he isn't guilty for his sake ha ha ha.

"This time he got caught", presumes guilt.

The question, "How many time's didn't he get caught", also implies that he is guilty of more than just this offense, as well as this offense.

Maybe they're both good assumptions. If so, and he raped an 11 yo, then he needs to go to hell as soon as possible.

If he didn't do it, then I don't know what to say. I wish the system were perfect and only guilty people were accused of heinous crimes.
Aldomas
Well if he is guilty I am with you Aldomas hell cannot take him in fast enough for me. If he is innocent which I highly doubt but if he is the LNP should should write just as big an article on the innocent not just this guy. I wish this A $$ good luck. I also agree that if he did do it, this it is not his only victim. These sicko's pride on numbers and control thats why they go after kids and not grown women, because they would tell him where to get off!!!
