In Seattle...
A 73-year-old man who rented a room at a Marysville home used as a day care was charged today with raping a 4-year-old girl.
Between June and November 2003, Philip Corneil allegedly fondled and had sex with the toddler while she was enrolled in the home day-care center in the 5700 block of 88th Street Northeast. At the time, Corneil rented a room from the woman who ran the day care, according to charging papers filed today in Snohomish County Superior Court.
Corneil, who the child knew as "Grandpa Phil," was arrested at a Mukilteo mental health care facility on Monday, according to police and prosecutors. He is charged with first-degree child rape.
The day care had previously operated in the 1800 block of Eighth Street in Marysville. Police are asking anyone who may have had contact with Corneil to call the sheriff's tip line at 425-388-3845.
