Police: Ohio man faces a charge of felony assault for attacking a teen who he alleges was raping a 5-year-old boy
Police: Ohio man Richard Adams faces a charge of felony assault for attacking a teen who he alleges was raping a 5-year-old boy.
An Ohio man was arrested last week for attacking a teen he said was raping a 5-year-old, police said.
Richard Adams, 20, walked into a room of his Eastlake, Ohio, home last Thursday and said he saw a 17-year-old raping a 5-year-old boy, WEWS reported.
“I kinda blacked out,” Adams told Cleveland's Fox 8. “I saw a 17-year-old molesting a 5-year-old. I wanted to help the young boy and that was all I was thinking about was getting it stopped.”
Both the teen and Adams were arrested – the teen for rape, and Adams for felony assault, police said.
Adams’ relationship to the 17-year-old -- whose identity was not released -- was not immediately clear. Adams posted bond and is due in court next month, Fox 8 reported.
