SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - An 11-year-old girl who apparently hanged herself in her bedroom was raped by her father earlier in the day, police said. Valerie Charlene Lucie, a former resident of North Chili, was found dead on Sept. 30. Timothy Lucie was arraigned Tuesday on felony charges of rape and sodomy that could bring him up to 25 years to life in prison, if convicted.
"It's a case that leaves you numb," Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan said Wednesday.
No charges have been filed in connection with the girl's death. Prosecutors will present the case Thursday to a grand jury, which could consider more serious charges against Timothy Lucie, said Onondaga County Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio.
Lucie, 46, was released from jail Wednesday on $35,000 bond. Prosecutors opposed bail but City Judge Langston McKinney said he did not believe that the evidence was strong enough to deny bail.
Defense lawyer Raymond Dague called the charges "baseless."
"I feel for these people," he said. "This is a good family. They went through hell losing their daughter, and now that's compounded by these false allegations against the dad."
"This is so out of the blue," added Dague. "He has no criminal record whatsoever and he has done nothing his entire life that would suggest he could do something like this." Dague said Lucie had voluntarily provided a sample of his DNA. Neither police nor prosecutors would comment about DNA evidence.
According to court documents, Timothy Lucie came under suspicion after an autopsy by Medical Examiner Dr. Mary Jumbelic revealed physical signs that Valerie had been sexually abused before her death. Although police called it an apparent suicide, her death has not officially been classified.
The girl did not leave a suicide note and the condition of her bedroom looked like that of a happy, healthy young girl, inconsistent with someone who commits suicide, Connellan said.
