Deputy Delaware AG charged with rape of boy, 16

A prosecutor with the Delaware Attorney General's Office has been accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy, New Castle County police said.

Daniel Simmons, 34, a deputy attorney general assigned to the New Castle County Misdemeanor Trial Unit, was charged Friday with four counts of fourth-degree rape, said Officer Tracey Duffy.

The investigation began in March after police learned of the incidents involving the boy, who Simmons made contact with through a social media app, Duffy said.

Simmons was identified as the perpetrator early in the investigation, she said.

The state Attorney General's Office was notified of the investigation's conclusion on Friday and quickly approved warrants for Simmons' arrest.

The investigation determined that Simmons met the boy through a social media app known as "Grindr," and not through his dealings with the public as a prosecutor, Duffy said.  (more...)
