A secret nine-count indictment has been handed up by the Trumbull County Grand Jury accusing a man of raping two girls under 13 years old.

Dale Straw, 44, of Ravenna was booked into the Trumbull County Jail without bond on Monday afternoon.

According to the indictment, the alleged victims were 10 years old at the time of the offenses in June of last year.

Straw was indicted on two counts of rape, three counts of gross sexual imposition, one count of attempted rape, two counts if illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material, and two counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.

Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Gabe Wildman tells 21 News that Straw is a convicted sex offender. The prior offense involved a six-year-old in Portage County.

If convicted of rape, Straw could face a sentence of life in prison.
