Bath man charged with rape, incest in child abuse case

A Bath man faces felony rape and incest charges after Steuben County investigators received a report of sexual abuse involving a child, the sheriff's office said.

David Murray, 38, was arrested Sept. 19 and charged with first-degree rape, first-degree incest and endangering the welfare of a child, according to Sheriff James Allard.


Investigators allege Murray had oral sexual contact with a child younger than 11 who was related to him.

The sheriff's office did not identify the child or disclose when the alleged abuse occurred.

Both the rape and incest counts are class B felonies, the release said.

Murray was arraigned in Centralized Arraignment Court and remanded to the Steuben County Jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or a $75,000 property bond.
