A 38-year-old counselor from a group home for troubled youths has been arrested on rape and other charges in connection with his actions involving a 16-year-old former resident of the home, Town of Tonawanda police said.
David Clayton, of Northview Drive in Lockport, a counselor at Wyndham Lawn, was charged with third-degree rape, criminal sexual act and endangering the welfare of a child, according to police.
The investigation began early today, after Officer John Oddo stopped Clayton's vehicle on traffic charges after it had left a Niagara Falls Boulevard motel at about 2:55 a.m. Police later learned that his 16-year-old passenger had been discharged from the facility last month.
Further investigation, police said, led to the criminal charges against Clayton
