Accused Rapist Tells Police 4-Year-Old Child Initiated Sexual Contact

Oak Harbor, WA — Police say 63-year-old Richard Tice Sr. recently admitted to repeatedly raping two young girls, but blamed his actions on the youngest of the two – a 4-year-old.
Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner began investigating the case last month after the child’s parents learned of the alleged abuse and had her seen at the hospital. The girl was then transported to another hospital in Seattle to undergo a forensic examination. At about the same time, Gardner discovered Tice had sexually assaulted an 8-year-old girl as well. Both girls were able to describe the alleged assaults in graphic detail.
Tice initially denied the allegations, but eventually admitted to raping both of the girls. According to Detective Gardner, ‘Tice then said, ‘I play around. I’ll be truthful,’ but blamed (the 4-year-old girl) on initiating sexual contact.”
Tice also denied having additional victims, but shortly after his arrest, another child from California came forward with similar accusations.
Tice is now behind bars, facing four counts of first-degree rape of a child.
