The investigation began when the teenage victim, who knew Rabine, told her mother about the abuse. The victim stated that Rabine started raping her at the age of 14 and forced her to have sexual intercourse and perform sex acts on him.

Rabine claimed that a man named "Ricky" would kill him if the victim did not comply, but investigators found that "Ricky" did not exist.
