DUDLEY, N.C. — A Dudley man was arrested Wednesday on accusations that he repeatedly raped a girl over two years, according to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office.

Gustavo Gaspar, 35, of 906 Pecan Road, faces four counts of first-degree rape of a child and one count each of first-degree sexual offense with a child and statutory rape. He was placed in the Wayne County jail under a $1 million bond.

The sheriff's office recently received a report of a sexual assault involving a 13 year old, authorities said. The girl then told investigators that the abuse had started when she was 11 and continued into this month.

Investigators said they searched Gaspar's house and seized items that "corroborate the victim's statements."
