Man arrested after allegedly raping 12-year-old girl he met online

A 20-year-old State College-area man is accused of raping a 12-year-old Jackson Township girl he met in an online chat room.

Dylan McClintock was arrested Tuesday in Centre County, where he remains in custody awaiting extradition to York County, according to Northern York County Regional Police, who are investigating the case.

Police said they were called by the girl’s parents on May 27 after they discovered she was missing around 1:30 a.m.

After a search lasting several hours, the girl’s father saw her get out of a burgundy 2015 Hyundai Sonata, which police determined was registered to McClintock.

The girl told police that she had been chatting with a State College-area adult she met through the ChatIB app, and that the man allegedly persuaded her to send him nude photos.

McClintock drove to the girl’s home and allegedly persuaded her to sneak out and meet him. He drove her to a parking lot in West Manchester Township, where he allegedly raped her and then returned her to her neighborhood, police said. McClintock allegedly dropped her off far from her home when he noticed police units in the area.

The girl was taken to the hospital for examination by medical personnel and police conducted a forensic analysis of the girl’s cell phone and identified the suspect as McClintock.
