Police arrested a Seattle firefighter for the second time in a week, this time on allegations of child rape.
Andrew James Sapier, 52, has been on leave since his arrest in Pierce County last week during an undercover sting targeting sex predators.
The new arrest is in connection to a case in 2019. Investigators say Sapier invited a 14-year-old to his home where the teen was allegedly given alcohol and raped.
Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said, in part, he is “deeply concerned about the egregious allegations.”
Sapier was first charged on March 18 after allegedly trying to meet who he believed was a 13-year-old girl for sex in an undercover sting in Pierce County. https://www.king5.com/article/news/crime/seattle-firefighter-charged-with-attempted-child-rape-after-undercover-sting/281-952656f3-b43f-462e-b52d-5df0efe84d34
