KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man has been arrested and charged with raping a 12-year-old girl, police said Wednesday.
George C. Jones, 38, is charged with forcible rape and five other felony counts.
According to court documents, the girl, who is a relative of Jones, went with him to his apartment at 3409 Indiana Ave. Monday night after attending a barbecue.
The girl told police she fell asleep on Jones' bed while watching television. She said she woke up when Jones started touching her inappropriately.
The girl told police that she repeatedly told Jones to get off her.
The victim's mother told investigators that she was awakened by someone screaming outside her front door at about 1 a.m. Tuesday. She said she opened the door when she saw her daughter and Jones outside. She said her daughter told her that Jones had sex with her.
KMBC's Emily Aylward reported that an exam done at Children's Mercy Hospital confirmed the girl's allegations.
Relatives refused comment to KMBC.
Jones is scheduled to appear in court Thursday. He is being held on $200,000 bond.

MONTGOMERY CITY, Missouri -- A six-year-old girl playing with her father's gun accidentally shot and killed her two-year-old brother at their home, authorities said.
Chase Yordt was killed Sunday morning. It was unclear where the girl found the handgun, Highway Patrol Sgt. Paul Reinsch said.
The bullet first hit the girl in the foot, Reinsch said.
The children's father, who has not been identified, is employed by the county jail, but the gun was not a county-issued weapon, said sheriff's Maj. Matt Schoo.
"It's a tragic accident," Schoo said.
The case is being reviewed to determine whether any charges will be filed against the parents, Reinsch said.
The father was working at the time of the shooting and the mother was at the home, located about 130 kilometres west of St. Louis.
