Father ‘raped his daughter’s friend, 12, during sleepover at his house’

A father raped two young girls including a 12-year-old friend of his daughter who was sleeping over at his house, police said.

Scott Surgener, 42, is charged with four counts of rape, seven counts of unlawful sexual contact with a minor and two counts of gross sexual imposition in Hamilton County, Ohio.

Surgener allegedly raped his first victim, who police said was his daughter’s friend, in July 2018 as the girl spent the night at his home.

The girl told police she was sleeping on the couch and Surgener laid down next to her and put her hand on his genitals.

She told police she ‘pushed his hand away and got up and (layed down) on a dog bed in the room.’ She also told police Surgener sexually assaulted her.

According to court documents, Surgener was charged with one count of rape and two counts of gross sexual imposition for the incident in July 2018.

The second victim told investigators Surgener repeatedly  abused her between April 2018 and April 2019.

Surgener allegedly began sexually abusing the girl when she was 12, according to court documents which say he raped the girl at least three times.

Police initially arrested Surgener in October 2019 after they found ‘numerous images that were hidden in a calculator application’ of a third victim engaged in sex acts with an adult man.

In one image, ‘Surgener is bent down behind her with a cell phone between her legs’ as she is standing naked from the waist down in a bathroom, the complaint says, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

The third alleged victim denied having any sexual contact with Surgener, whose next court date has not been set.
