GREENSBURG, Pa. -- An 18-year-old Greensburg man has been charged with raping a baby who police said was left in his care.

Police said Scott Wade Smith raped his girlfriend's 5-month-old girl Friday morning at a home in the 500 block of Highland Avenue, where several people, including the infant's mother, were living.

Authorities said the infant suffered severe injuries and was flown to Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, where surgery was performed.





Police said the girl was crying so hard she nearly stopped breathing.

According to police, Smith made a story about the baby choking on a crayon, but paramedics didn't find anything in her throat. So, they decided to take her to Westmoreland Hospital, which is where doctors found blood inside her diaper.

"Doctors immediately notified Greensburg police, who headed to the house with a search warrant," said Capt. George Seranko of the Greensburg Police Department.

There, police said they found a blood-soaked towel in a box in Smith's bedroom, along with four red-stained baby wipes.

The mother was in class at her high school when the alleged attack occurred, police said.

Smith was charged with five felonies, including rape of a child, causing seriously bodily injury, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and endangering the welfare of children. He is being held at the Westmoreland County Prison on $1 million bail.

Police said rape of a child with serious bodily injury under the age of 13 is punishable by life in prison, and they are asking the district attorney to push for that sentence.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday. It's unknown whether Smith has a lawyer yet.

If I were a lawyer I wouldn't want to defend this sick piece of work.

He should have been shot on the spot,no if's but's or maybe's.

Just do away with him.

There is no excuse what so ever, for what he has done:mad::mad:

I've often wondered how solicitors /lawyers wrestle with their conscience when they have to represent people who do awful things. I know their just doing their job but i couldn't do it .

I agree with you MrsK:(

I could easily give this monster the lethal injection and not think twice about it.

I cant read what you put as I know it would upset me to much..........but if this headline is true.............quite honestly words fail me.

Society is way too lenient on people like this. There will be some sob story about his background or something, and then bleeding hearts will believe that he should be given the opportunity to reform, (after all he is only 18).

I say cut his p*cker off in a public square and watch him bleed to death.

Maybe his fellow convicts will deal with him in an effective manner.

We can only hope this happens inmate don't take kindly to child molestors and rapist.
