A registered sex-offender allegedly carried off a six-year-old who was in church with her family and sexually assaulted her in a bathroom while he stifled her screams. William Brandon Coffey is accused of grabbing the girl while she was on her way to the toilet at the Body of Hope Church in Raleigh in North Carolina on Tuesday.
Court documents state he carried her to the men's bathroom and "covered the mouth of the victim when she attempted to scream".
When he had finished assaulting her he then kissed her and let her go, according to Investigator A. J. Doughty. When the girl came back to her parents, Doughty wrote, they saw that she had urinated on herself and asked what had happened. They called police, but Coffey had left the church before officers arrived.
