Fairview Twp. man arrested on rape charges in Ohio
FAIRVIEW TWP — A township man was arraigned Tuesday in Ohio for multiple charges of rape.
George T. Martin, 63, was charged by the Mahoning County Sheriff on nine counts of rape. Further information about the charges was not available.
A grand jury in November indicted Martin.
The U.S. Marshals Service Northern Ohio Violent Offender Task Force requested assistance from the Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force to help locate Martin.
Task force members found Martin at his house and arrested him without incident on Dec. 2. He was taken to the Butler County Prison.
On Monday two Mahoning County sheriff’s deputies picked Martin up for extradition from the Butler County Prison.
He now is in the Mahoning County Jail. No bond has been set.
Martin could face life in prison if convicted.
