Resume:
Seaford, DE- Delaware State Police detectives have arrested a Seaford, DE man in connection with the sexual assault of a Seaford female who was 11 years of age at the time.

The investigation into the incident began in December of 2011, after detectives were contacted by the father of a Seaford juvenile who advised them that his daughter, who was currently visiting him in Georgia, had revealed to him that she had been sexually assaulted at her home, located on King Road in Seaford, when she was 9 years of age. The victim advised her father that the incident had happened in August of 2009 and that Brent L. Kane, 22, was the person who had assaulted her.

Detectives scheduled an interview with the victim which was conducted on January 10, 2012. It was then that detectives learned that Kane had been at the victim’s residence visiting her brothers. The victim had fallen asleep on a couch in the home at which time Kane, who was then 20 years of age, picked her up, took her to a bedroom, and sexually assaulted her.

Detectives obtained warrants against Brent L. Kane, who is a high risk Tier III sex offender, charging him with one count of Rape 1st Degree. He was located and taken into custody without incident. Kane was then arraigned at JP Court 2 and committed to the Department of Corrections for lack of bail.
