FREMONT - A Bellevue man is to be arraigned May 7 on 16 charges of rape involving a girl between 11 and 14 years old.
Ten of the counts against Allen Bartl, 45, carry a mandatory life term in prison if he is convicted. Mr. Bartl was indicted by a Sandusky County grand jury last week.
Authorities said the sexual assaults happened between 1998 and 2001.
