LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP)- A 40-year-old Lexington County man
accused of raping and impregnating his 11-year-old stepdaughter has
been denied bond.

Lexington County Sheriff's Major John Allard said a magistrate
denied bond at a hearing Wednesday morning.

Sheriff James Metts said the Pelion man was arrested Tuesday,
the day the stepdaughter discovered at a hospital that she's
pregnant. The suspect is charged with first-degree criminal sexual
conduct. An arrest warrant accuses him of raping his stepdaughter
in their home in September. The sheriff said the girl has known him
since she was 2.

The mother called police Monday.

The man's name is not being made public to protect the girl's
identity.

If convicted, he should be chained to a fence in a VERY PUBLIC Place with a SIGN stating his crime. Jail is TOO good for him. There are too many available women in the world and if this is a sickness,he should have seeked treatment.
