Resume:
Smyrna, DE- Delaware State Police detectives have arrested a Smyrna man in connection with allegedly raping a 16 year old female.

On Monday February 18, 2013, detectives at Troop 3 in Dover began a rape investigation after a 16 year old girl disclosed to a family member that she had been sexually assaulted by George Curtis, 21 of Smyrna. The investigation revealed, Curtis was at the 16 year old female victim’s house on January 1, 2013 and left the residence in a vehicle with the victim, driving to a nearby liquor store where he purchased alcohol. He then drove to his residence located in the 100 block of Fields Drive near Smyrna where he forced the victim to drink the liquor as well as take an Oxycodone pill before he sexually assaulted her. Curtis then drove the victim home where he dropped her off and continued to harass and solicit sex from the victim on a regular basis until she and her mother responded to Troop 3 on Monday to report the crimes.

On Wednesday February 27th, detectives along with State Police Special Operations Response Team (SORT) executed a search warrant in the 100 block of Fields Drive where Curtis resides. He was taken into custody without incident and transported back to Troop 3 where he was processed and arraigned on the above listed charges. He was committed to JTVCC on $45,000.00 secured bond.

Because of the sensitivity of this case, and in consideration of the victim, only limited information will be released.

dumb dumb. Lets just clarify the story here though. It's new year's eve. This dumb dumb is hanging with a 16 yr old. They both willingly go out to grab drinks and get high. Then when mom finds out (probably because he was constantly calling/texting) the girl says she was forced to do it all. Bottom line, this dum dum is getting locked up for messing around with a minor but I would put money on it that none of this was "forced" on the girl. Mom, you might want to have a stern talking to with the daughter.
