LAKE CITY, S.C. (WBTW) – Lake City police have arrested a man they say offered to drive a 17-year-old girl home, but instead raped her.
Police said they were notified on Jan. 26 by the girl that she had been raped 2 months earlier, according to police.
The girl said she was walking home from work when Andrew Singletary, 53, pulled his truck over near her and asked her why she was walking home alone in the dark, according to authorities.
