Daniel L. Sisk, 58, was charged with one count of gross sexual imposition on Friday. Court documents filed by the Reynoldsburg police department allege the victim said she was sold to Sisk.
A statement of facts said a detective received an anonymous report on August 20 that the child had been brought from North Carolina to Ohio and was being sexually abused. The tip claimed the child "had been sold to the male who now had possession of her - but not any legal rights."
Police made contact with the child at a home along Allegro Drive, who also told detectives that she was "sold" and that her mother gave her to "Dan, my dad, to have sex." The child recounted the alleged abuse to detectives and said she was told not to tell anyone because things would "go wrong."
The child's legal guardian told police that her daughter, the child's mother, picked the victim up on July 13 and didn't return her.
A woman and three other children lived with Sisk, detectives said. The woman said she knew the child was sleeping in the same bed as Sisk and "thought it was weird," but she thought of Sisk as a "father figure" to the child and said Sisk had been in the child's life for a long time. She reportedly knew that the child said Sisk had "humped" her.
When arrested, Sisk said the victim had been with him for two months and a week. He confirmed the child used to sleep in his bed, but it stopped when he "thought better of it," court documents said. He also said that he bathes the child, despite her being seven years old.
