19-year-old Tennessee man accused of raping a 9-month-old girl while friend recorded the awful attack
Two men, Isiah Dequan Hayes, 19, and Daireus Jumare Ice, 22, were indicted by a grand jury in Memphis, Tennessee, Tuesday on charges including aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor after they were accused of raping a 9-month-old girl and filming the incident. Hayes was recorded molesting the infant several years ago when he was 17, but was arrested in February after he admitted to inappropriately touching the baby, Memphis Police said.
Speaking to WREG at the time, Hayes' older brother said the news is difficult to swallow. "To hear this is heartbreaking and scary," he said, on condition of anonymity, before apologizing to the family of the victim. "Us as a family, we apologize. I know that the child may not remember, but it's something a mother is going to have to hold on to forever. Like, knowing that your child was exposed to something like that. You trusted your child with someone, and you have to deal with seeing this on your own," he said.
