Brad K. Stewart, 38, was indicted in Hamilton County on a charge of child rape in October 2011. His hearing on charges of raping his slain girlfriend’s young son begins Monday.The ex-boyfriend of a woman stabbed to death last year will have a hearing today on charges of repeatedly raping her 11-year-old son, according to a Hamilton County indictment.
Brad K. Stewart, 38, was indicted on a charge of child rape in October, almost a year after a 35-year-old woman was found stabbed and bludgeoned in her apartment by three of her children coming home from school. The 11-year-old wound up on a neighbor’s front porch, weeping after discovering his mother’s body.
Her newborn daughter, just 16 days old, was home at the time of the slaying on Oct. 27, 2010.
After the woman’s death, Stewart initially had custody of all five of her children.
The indictment filed by prosecutors states Stewart raped the boy both before and after her death.
