Investigators say McKinney was watching the 5-year-old boy in Ross Township in May of last year when the alleged rape happened.

The victim's parents hired McKinney through the online babysitting service called SitterCity.com.

Police said once they took McKinney into custody last year, he admitted to the incident, also indicating he has allegedly been sexually assaulting young children for years.
