A Hartwell man was arrested this week after police said he raped a 5-year-old girl.

Irun Robinson, 21, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the Nov. 14 incident, investigators said.

Court records indicate he may have recently been released from prison at the time of the offense.

In 2015 when Robinson was just 18, he was convicted of breaking and entering and failure to comply with a police order. He was sentenced to 22 months in prison.

In August 2016, he was sent to Volunteers of America to serve the remainder of his sentence, according to court documents. That October, police said he escaped from the facility.

Robinson was recaptured and pleaded guilty to escape in March of this year. He was sentenced to nine months in prison. With credit for time served, he would have been due for release in November.

Robinson is now being held on a $100,000 bond at the Hamilton County Justice Center awaiting trial.
