A 30-year-old man is facing criminal charges in connection with the 2011 rape of a 12-year-old boy at a home in Cumberland County.

Zachary Ryan Griggs was taken into custody Tuesday on charges of conspiracy to commit rape of a child, conspiracy to commit corruption of a minor and conspiracy to commit indecent assault of a minor.

Tiffiany Rodriguez, 23, who was Griggs' girlfriend in 2011, was the person who had sex with the boy in the late summer of 2011, according to state police.

Rodriguez, then 19, and Griggs, then 27, were swimming with the boy at a home in Southampton Township when Rodriguez asked the boy if he was interested in a threesome, the boy told state police.

The boy said no, but Rodriguez later undressed the boy and proceeded to have sex with him, the boy told state police. Griggs is accused of removing his clothes while he watched the incident occur.

The boy told troopers he repeatedly asked Rodriguez to stop. The boy, who is now 15, reported the incident roughly four months after it occurred to troopers at the state police barracks in Carlisle, state police said in charging documents.

Griggs also acknowledged that he heard the boy ask Rodriguez to stop, state police said. Moreover, he is accused of having sex with Rodriguez in front of the boy after the rape, state police reported.

Rodriguez pleaded guilty in September 2013 to one felony count of rape of a child, which led to a 6- to 12-year state prison sentence and 8 years of probation upon her release, according to court records.

Rodriguez will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life, according to court records. She is being held at SCI Cambridge Springs in Crawford County.

Trooper Rob Hicks, a state police spokesman, said "circumstances with the investigation" delayed charges being brought against Griggs. The charges were filed nearly 3½ years after the rape occurred.

Griggs, whose address was not listed in charging documents, was being held Friday in lieu of $5,000 bail in Cumberland County Prison. His preliminary hearing is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 2.
