The child was found unresponsive and possibly drugged inside her room.
“When officers arrived, they discovered the complaining witness, being a four-year-old child, appeared to be under the influence or in a groggy state, also appeared to be unclothed under the blanket, which the defendant exposed to the officer,” ADA Ann Johnson reportedly said.
Turley told the undercover officer “it may not fit in” but said that he could “do whatever he wanted,” the New York Daily News reported.
The child was reportedly safe and her mother appeared to have no idea what was happening.
