The investigation started June 30, 2022 when police said the parents of a young girl called. They told investigators they suspected their daughter had been sexually abused by a man who’d been staying with them for several weeks.
That man is 40-year-old Randy Ray Pope, who police said is homeless after the family kicked him out of their house. Pope was arrested Saturday near the intersection of Hwy. 59 and Hwy. 104 just two days after the alleged crimes were reported. Police said they relied on a combination of evidence and statements made by their victim during a forensic interview to develop their case.
Counselors and therapists at the Baldwin County Child Advocacy Center see about 400 children each year. Nearly two-thirds of them are referred by law enforcement. Executive Director, Niki Whitaker said it often takes time to develop trust with abused children and get them to open up about their experiences. She said it’s also common for children to not report abuse, at least not right away.
Whitaker said it’s important to talk to your children about what abuse looks and feels like, as difficult as that may seem. She said to use other topics as springboards into the discussion. There are signs to look for that something may be going on.
