Published July 25, 2008 11:37 am - A jury recommended a Glasgow man spend 35 years in prison after finding him guilty on Thursday of raping of 9-year-old girl. Man found guilty in rape of young girl By BRAD DICKERSON Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — A jury recommended a Glasgow man spend 35 years in prison after finding him guilty on Thursday of raping of 9-year-old girl.
Robbie Lynn Scott, 35, was also found guilty of being a persistent felony offender by a jury of six men and six women. The prior convictions were for a 2004 flagrant nonsupport charge in Allen County and a 2001 charge of third-degree assault in Metcalfe County. This new conviction stems from accusations that he raped a then 8-year-old girl on four occasions between June and July 2007. Scott is set for final sentencing on Sept. 22 at 1 p.m. The child testified that the incidents occurred at Scott’s Cleveland Avenue apartment. She lived in an apartment with relatives in the same complex. During the summer months of 2007, the child said she fell asleep on Scott’s couch and when she woke up, he was on top of her, with his clothes off and her pants down. She added that this happened on four separate occasions over four consecutive days. She eventually reported it first to her grandfather and then to her grandmother. The grandmother, who said she has raised the child since she was only three months old, testified that she and the victim had a conversation about the defendant on July 12, 2007, around a month after the incidents occurred. “(She) told me that she had been raped by Robbie,” the grandmother said, adding that her granddaughter was taking medication in 2007 to help her sleep and for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Dr. Lynette Brooks, a pediatrician at Glasgow Pediatrics, testified that during her examination of the child on July 12, 2007, she observed that the vaginal area was red and irritated and there appeared to be a tear on the hymen. The grandmother had earlier stated that her granddaughter was being treated for a yeast infection at the time, which could have explained the redness. Dr. Todd Douglas, a family physician who volunteers at the Barren River Area Child Advocacy Center (BRACAC), said that after a thorough genital exam, the hymen did not appear to be torn, but did appear to be thinning and there was a diagonal scar just inside the vaginal area. “The diagonal scar is very worrisome for some type of injury,” Douglas said. Glasgow Police Department Detective Eddie Lindsey, the lead investigator in the case, said he interviewed Scott on July 20, 2007, and testified that the defendant denied the allegations, saying he had not had any contact with the victim in over a year and was never left alone with her.
