KINGSTON – A Spring Glen man is charged with rape for having sex with a 14-year-old girl.
Detectives from the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office and Ulster County Family and Child Advocacy Center charged Jonathan Santiago, 23, with two counts of felony rape and a misdemeanor of endangering the welfare of a child.
In February detectives began investigating allegations that Santiago was having sex with a girl under 15 years of age and the investigation concluded that Santiago engaged a 14-year-old female in sexual intercourse on at least two occasions.
On October 3 at about 10:30 a.m., Santiago was taken into custody at the Trudy Farber Resnick building in the Village of Ellenville and transported to the Ulster County Law Enforcement Center. He was sent to the Ulster County Jail without bail. He faces Ulster County probation violations.
