Man police say raped 15-year-old told attorney he was 'wasted' at the time

One of the two men accused of raping a 15-year-old after plying her with alcohol at a party in Delhi Township told his attorney he was "wasted" that night.

Steven Lee, 20, and Antonio Leicht, 21, were both charged with rape on Saturday, police said. Delhi Township police Lt. Joe Macaluso said the men, who are cousins, raped the teen, one right after the other, early Saturday in the basement of a home in the 300 block of Anderson Ferry Road.

On Monday Delhi Township Police Detective Adam Cox asked a judge for a high bond for both men.

Cox said Leicht provided the alcohol for the party. His defense attorney said he is married with a child on the way. Leicht told his attorney that he was "wasted" that night, his attorney said.

Bond was set at $170,000 for Steven Lee and bond was set at $100,000 for Antonio Leicht. Lee is charged with assault and rape and Leicht is charged with rape and supplying alcohol to a minor.

The girl was taken in an ambulance to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where doctors examined her, Macaluso said.

The victim was released from the hospital to her parents, police said.

Police responded to the residence at 2:50 a.m. Saturday.

Hamilton County dispatchers took a 911 call from a girl who said her friend sent her a Snapchat stating older males are raping her friend, an incident detail report shows.

Macaluso said the rape unfolded when the suspects and an 18-year-old male friend of theirs partied with the victim and two of her female friends at the 18-year-old's house. The girls are all 15 or 16, he said.

The 18-year-old's father was home at the time, Macaluso said. But he said he thinks the man was asleep in a bedroom upstairs and had no knowledge of the events.

"It wasn't like it was a loud banging party and people were screaming," Macaluso said, but, he added, "You need to be aware of what's going on in your home."

The man's son also had no involvement or knowledge and was in a different part of the home when the rape allegedly occurred, according to Macaluso.

This is not the first time Lee has been accused of a sex crime.

A Hamilton County grand jury last year indicted Lee on three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, court records show.

He was accused in June of having sex three times with a girl who was between the ages of 13 and 15 between February and March 2017 despite knowing she was underage, his indictment said. The case is pending.
