Teddy L. Castle, 42, appeared via video Thursday at his plea hearing Thursday in Stark County Common Pleas Court. He pleaded guilty two counts of rape, one count of gross sexual imposition and two counts of sexual battery.
The sexual assaults occurred over a period of six years and led to the underage victim becoming pregnant, according to county prosecutors.

CANTON Judge Chryssa Hartnett paused during the sentencing hearing of a Nimishillen Township man Wednesday who pleaded guilty to child rape charges.
Hartnett aimed her words at Robert E. Lee, 51, whom she sentenced to 20 years in prison in Stark County Common Pleas Court. I listened to it come out of your own mouth (in statements to police) . I heard you admit the unspeakable things that you did, she said. . This is not a child making an accusation, this is a child finally having enough, bringing it to adults attention and the perpetrator acknowledging it.
Lee pleaded guilty to three charges of rape, two counts of gross sexual imposition and single counts of sexual battery and illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or performance.
It s a fight for identity.
On one side is Napoli s Italian Eatery. The long-established downtown dining spot was to re-open under new ownership as early as last week, but that plan is on hold.
On the other side is a son and his fiancee of the former Napoli s owner. They say the Napoli s name and phone number are theirs and they want to use both for a new restaurant in the northeast area. Napoli s is not a place; it s a who, said Bobbie Alm.
She s engaged to Michael DeChellis, whose father Phil DeChellis owned Napoli s at 221 Market Ave. N until his death in 2016. Father wanted to turn the restaurant over to his son, according his last will and testament.
