CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Brooklyn man is accused of sexually abusing a child for the third time in 22 years.

Joseph Satullo, 43, is charged with rape in a series of incidents that involved an 8-year-old girl and happened from July 1 to Dec. 22, according to court records.

Satullo is accused of sexually abusing the girl about once per week over the six-month period, records say.

Satullo is not in custody but a warrant was issued Thursday for his arrest.

Satullo is a sex offender with two prior sexual assault convictions. He is a Tier III sex offender, meaning he has to register his address with the county sheriff's department every 90 days for the rest of his life.

Satullo served a three-year, six-month sentence in 2009 after being convicted of sexual battery. In that case, he forced a 10-year-old girl in Lakewood to watch pornographic videos while he sexually assaulted her, records say.

In 1995, he was convicted of sexual battery against a 16-year-old girl. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison in that case.

Satullo also has felony convictions for theft, insurance fraud and possessing stolen property, records show.
