PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The FBI is searching for a man accused of raping an 8-year-old girl at a YMCA swimming pool in Wilmington, Delaware earlier this summer. Feds are offering a $5,000 reward for his capture.

It happened on June 13 at the YMCA Hanby swimming pool off Marsh Road, near Naamans Road — just across the Pennsylvania border. According to investigators, 21-year-old Nehemiah Billie J’Len Garcia lured the child into the showers of the outdoor pool and assaulted her.

Garcia is known to have ties to Philadelphia and Cape Coral, Florida.

He is wanted on two counts of rape in the first degree causing injury, two counts of dangerous crime against a minor under 14, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

There’s a $5,000 reward for Garcia’s capture. Anyone who knows his whereabouts is asked to call their local FBI office or 911. Tips can be submitted online.
