Champion man gets prison term for raping child


WARREN — Kyle Harris, 20, of North Park Avenue Extension in Champion was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison today in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court for raping a 2-year-old girl.

He pleaded guilty to rape, gross sexual imposition and pandering obscenity before Judge Andrew Logan.

Harris’ father reported in January that Harris had been staying with him at his house on Laird Avenue for a couple weeks because he was homeless. While Kyle Harris was at ValleyCare Trumbull Memorial Hospital being treated for an infection, his father found Harris’ cellphone.

On it were pictures showing a 2-year-old girl being sexually abused.
