Sweet Home police took a 17-year-old Sweet Home boy into custody for first-degree rape last week.
Police arrested John Henry Brozek at 8:42 p.m. on Feb. 14 at the Sweet Home Police Department.
On Feb. 16, the Linn County District Attorney’s Office filed additional charges, with Brozek arraigned the same day on two counts of first-degree rape and two counts of first-degree sodomy in Linn County Circuit Court. All charges are class A felonies.
The victim is a 14-year-old female known to the suspect, said Police Chief Jeff Lynn. The investigation is continuing.
Brozek is accused of forcibly engaging in “deviate sexual intercourse” with the victim, who was incapable of consent by reason of mental defect or mental incapacity, according to the district attorney’s information.
Brozek was transported to Linn-Benton Juvenile Detention Center.
