Nationwide search targets suspect in Sandusky rapes

6/15/2002

SANDUSKY - A nationwide search is under way for a 67-year-old city man who is accused of raping two girls under the age of 14.

Police say Robert Ohly left the area shortly after the girls reported an incident in March. He is accused of abusing the girls at his home during a two-year period. On Tuesday, an Erie County grand jury indicted him on three counts of rape and six counts of gross sexual imposition.

Warrants have been issued for his arrest.
