Secret indictment

WARREN

Gary Morrow, 65, of Beacher Avenue in Ravenna, was arrested Friday afternoon on a secret indictment charging him with seven counts of rape, each of which could produce a life prison sentence, and nine counts of gross sexual imposition, which could add many more years in prison.

The offenses are alleged to have taken place in Newton Falls.

Morrow’s indictment, unsealed this morning, accuses him of raping a girl between October 2012 and October 2015 — when she was age 9 to 11.

The gross-sexual imposition charges accuse Morrow of touching offenses starting in October 2009, when the girl was only 6 years old.

Morrow is in the Trumbull County Jail awaiting arraignment in common pleas court.
