New Haven man faces rape count; victim, 15 JAMIE DUFFY | The Journal Gazette A 25-year-old New Haven man is charged with raping a 15-year-old girl visiting his home. William H. Blanton Jr. was charged Thursday with rape, two counts of sexual misconduct and sexual battery. Two swabs were taken from Blanton by a New Haven police officer. Blanton's DNA was used in an analysis with DNA taken from the victim, including her clothing, by the Indiana State Police laboratory. The results matched, court documents said. The alleged rape occurred Dec. 17 to 18, when the victim went to visit Blanton and a woman. They were drinking White Claw, an alcoholic drink, and the woman went to sleep while the victim went to help Blanton work on a vehicle in the garage, documents said.
