Scott Easley
A Berryville man is being held in the Carroll County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond after being arrested on charges of rape and human trafficking.
Scott Alfred Easley, 32, is accused of raping the then 7-year-old daughter of a woman who lived with from September 2013 to November 2014. He is also accused of allowing other individuals to sexually assault the girl in exchange for drugs.
According to an affidavit for Easleys arrest written by Lt. Daniel Crawford of the Berryville Police Department, the alleged victims mother spoke with Crawford by phone in February. The woman told Crawford that when she lived with Easley, he used drugs and beat her, the affidavit says. The woman also told Crawford that she had discovered some papers that Easley had written about someone having sex with a child, as well as a to-do list about sexual activity he wanted to engage in with a child, according to the affidavit. The woman told Crawford that Easleys name was not on the papers, the affidavit says, so there was no way at the time to prove he had written them. The woman left Easley and moved to Illinois where she now lives, the affidavit says.
