Several people were indicted by the DeKalb County Grand Jury last week, including cases involving burglary, drug dealing, and even escape. There were also several people indicted on sealed indictments for child abuse and one case of rape of a child.
On November 15, the DeKalb County Grand Jury indicted 63-year-old Carlos Restrepo of Cook Road, Liberty, under a sealed indictment for rape of a child. The indictment alleges that Restrepo did unlawfully and intentionally or knowingly sexually penetrate a person less than 13 years of age back on September 10, 2010.
Through a press release from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, authorities say that Restrepo was charged in the case for the rape of six year old victim. Although the case is from 2010, the victim did not disclose the crime until March 2021 after they had turned 16 years old.
The minor child disclosed this information to the Tennessee Department of Children Service, and a detective with the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, while being forensically interviewed at the Upper Cumberland Child Advocacy Center.
Authorities say that Restrepo did admit to digitally penetrating the victim's vagina. This case was investigated by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office and the 13th Judicial District Attorney's General Office. Restrepo is being held without bond, and he is due to appear in court on December 7.
Another sealed indictment was handed down that day for four people on charges of aggravated child abuse, four counts of aggravated assault, child neglect, and child abuse.
Authorities say 33-year-old Christopher Brian Mager and 30-year-old Angel Anne Mager, both of South College Street, Smithville, are each charged with one count of aggravated child abuse, two counts of aggravated assault, and two counts of child abuse or neglect. Twenty-two-year-old Rebecca Ann Yount and 24-year-old Jesse Eugene Van Dyne, both of Walker Drive, Smithville, are each charged with one count of child abuse or neglect.
The abuse charges are alleged to have occurred between May and June, 2021, involving a child under the age of 18. All are being held without bond and are to appear in court on December 7.
