New York Pair Face Child Rape Charges

(Gates, New York) A 36-year-old local woman, Dena Greene, was arrested last July for allegedly raping two 15-year-old boys in the summer of 2005. Greene faces two counts each of criminal sexual act and rape, all felonies, and misdemeanor charges of unlawfully dealing with a child, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of sexual abuse.

Today in Monroe County Court, Greene pleaded not guilty to the charges before Judge John R. Schwartz. Greene is free on an appearance ticket with no bail since she's not considered a flight risk. A November 2nd court date has been scheduled.

Meanwhile, Greene's boyfriend, Derrick McFadden, faces charges of rape for allegedly engaging in sex with a girl under the age of 11. The sex allegedly occurred at a home in Gates between 1995 and 2004.

According to Gates Police Chief David DiCaro, "It became a time when the child got old enough and felt safe enough to finally tell a responsible adult who would share the information with us."

McFadden was booked into the Monroe County Jail.

McFadden, 22, was offered a plea deal today. For pleading guilty to first-degree rape of the 10-year-old girl, he would receive five years in prison. The girl, now 16, and her family concurred with the deal. If McFadden elects to go to trial, he could face 25 years in prison.

I recommend that McFadden fight the charges at trial. Go for it.
