STRUTHERS, Ohio - A Struthers man was indicted Thursday on rape and multiple sexual misconduct charges after authorities say he had sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl.

Neil A. Wire, 35, was indicted on one count of rape, one count of gross sexual imposition, three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and three counts of sexual imposition.

Authorities say that Wire, on or about February 6, 2011, began a multiple-years-long trend of rape and sexual abuse with a then 12-year-old girl.

The incidents of alleged abuse continued until 2013.

A warrant for Neil's arrest has been issued in Mahoning County.
