Man
accused of raping 12-year-old girl given joint custody of her child
SANILAC COUNTY, Mich. — A Michigan man who allegedly raped a
girl when she was 12 years old and got her pregnant has been given joint
custody of her child.
Christopher Mirasolo, 27, is accused of raping the victim and
getting her pregnant in September 2008, according to The
Detroit News. He was 18 and she was 12.
The victim’s attorney, Rebecca Kiessling, says Mirasalo lured
the victim, her 13-year-old sister and a friend into his car and took them to a
vacant home in Michigan and held them captive for two days before releasing
them.
Inside the home, Mirasolo forcibly raped and threatened to kill
the victim, Kiessling says.
Mirasolo was arrested a month later and sentenced to one year in
jail for attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He served roughly half
the time before he was released to care for his sick mother.
In 2010, Mirasolo was convicted of the assault of another child
and given four years in jail.
According to The Detroit News, after a paternity test showed
Mirasolo was the father, he was given parenting time and joint custody of the
child.
Now, the victim is seeking protection under the federal Rape
Survivor Child Custody Act.
