An Ohio man has been arrested on suspicion of raping an 11-year-old girl who is now reported to be pregnant.
Juan Leon-Gomez, 26, was taken into custody Wednesday morning after police found the child hidden inside his bedroom closet.
Law enforcement showed up to his Massillon home - after the girl's mother reported her missing.
Leon-Gomez was already under investigation for sexual assault in an ongoing case involving the juvenile.
When officers arrived at the Woodland Avenue residence shortly after 1 a.m., Leon-Gomez hid the child and turned off the lights, according to the police report. Officers knocked on the door several times before getting an answer.
A man living with Leon-Gomez gave cops permission to search the residence but told them he did not want to be involved.
Law enforcement later discovered the girl inside a closet.
