Don Baxter has been behind bars after he was arrested, facing several charges for first-degree rape, forcible sodomy and lewd acts with a child.
Court documents detailed the alleged molestation began on the victim's 13th birthday and lasted nearly two years.
Investigators said the victim told them Baxter would take her home from school and sexually abuse her.
During an hours long forensic interview with the victim, police noted the 14 -year-old couldn't recount all of the sexual acts because they happened more times than she was able to count.
She mentioned that the sexual abuse she felt happened every other day for almost two years.
When Baxter was brought in for the initial questioning investigators said that he denied the allegations, handing over his phone and voluntarily giving his DNA.
A few days after his initial denial on May 8 Baxter went back to the Midwest City Police Department with his pastor.
Documents stated Baxter first confessed to his pastor before his confession to police.
Police said at that time they learned Baxter tried to overdose on pills and was rushed to the hospital.
According to authorities, Baxter told an officer he tried to overdose after the allegations surfaced saying he didn’t want people to be mad at the victim in this case and he needed to tell the truth.
After being released from the hospital Baxter was arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center.
He now sits in the jail on a $600,000 bond.
