PORT ANGELES — A 31-year-old Port Angeles man has been arrested for investigation of two counts of first-degree rape of a child.
Brian Wayne McBride, who was arrested Thursday, faces possible formal charges from the Clallam County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office on Tuesday.
McBride was released from the Clallam County jail on his personal recognizance after his initial court appearance Friday.
He was ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim or any other child.
Port Angeles police allege that McBride raped the girl over the course of several years in different locales, including the Sequim area.
The alleged crimes occurred before the girl was 12, police said in the affidavit for probable cause.
Port Angeles Police Officer Erik Smith interviewed the girl Feb. 2 and McBride on Thursday.
McBride in a voluntary interview initially denied that he had raped the girl.
“After positive confrontation, however, he confessed to and described three sexual acts, two that occurred in Clallam County, that he committed with [the alleged victim],” Smith wrote in the arrest narrative.
McBride’s accounts matched information provided by the girl, Smith said.
