A 70-year old Grayland man is charged with molesting and raping a now-17-year-old girl from the time she was three. During the investigation, the girl’s mother and another relative claimed the man also molested them as children.
Delbert E. Rockey is charged with first-degree rape of a child and first-degree child molestation. The girl recounted to police at least 15 incidents where Rockey touched her inappropriately, starting when she was 3 years old.
The girl’s mother reported Rockey had molested her at least 10 times when she was about 6 years old, according to court documents.
After hearing about the investigation, another relative came forward saying she had also been molested once by Rockey when she was 10 or 12 years old, according to the prosecutor’s filing.
