A Haverhill man is in jail on suspicion of raping a 15-year-old girl.

The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office was called to Southern Ohio Medical Center on Tuesday where the girl, whose identity was not released, reported being sexually assaulted.

According to a press release from Sheriff Marty V. Donini, detectives said the girl met Gene R. Zimmerman, 37, in an Internet chat room, where he led her to believe he would take her to a friend’s house in Ashland, Ky. Deputies said the alleged victim only knew Zimmerman by his screen name, Bubbles. The victim reported she was taken to an apartment in Haverhill, where she was sexually assaulted.

The girl was treated at SOMC and then sent to Adena Medical Center in Chillicothe.

Zimmerman has been charged with one count of rape, a first-degree felony. Donini said deputies are continuing the investigation and more charges could be presented to a Scioto County grand jury. Zimmerman is being held in the Scioto County jail on a $50,000 bond and will appear Monday in Portsmouth Municipal Court.

Anyone with any information concerning this case is asked to call Detective Jodi Conkel at 740-351-1091. All calls will remain anonymous.

Josh Richardson may be reached at 740-353-3101, ext. 244, or jrichardson@heartlandpublications.com.

Now He's the Guru Developer for all of SE Ohio? He's just the reporter to the reporters once removed just cause he got an audience with the Governor, once or twice? We all could have reported on the Web page up-date. Ain't he the one who served the sitting president in his establishment the only reason he gets these sound bites. Tell that $2 million for improving you property goodby Mr. Albrecht, just like the City's $2 million on the Marting's building. Just be blessed with those Tax Abatement's you have that the home owners are subsidizing you with like the rest of the business community. Wasn't he run out of Athens a real progressive happenin' town? Look at Athens' Master Plan on the net and you can get a CD, Mr Albrecht. Don't just be a reporter developer like the rest of them. What's that song title, "Rise up O' Men of God?"
