A Grafton man has now been charged with first-degree sexual assault of a teenage girl.

In the past, they had "approximately eight" sexual encounters, per the complaint, which she said she "didn't have a choice" in because she knew he had a gun and had threatened her.

The complaint states the victim told police that Oliver held a knife to her neck and hit her in the face before sexually assaulting her on July 17.

According to the complaint, Oliver would sell drugs exclusively to young girls and "does stuff" to them – hurting them if they refuse his advances.

The day after the alleged assault, police executed a search warrant at Oliver's home. There, police found what appeared to be marijuana, cocaine and crack as well as a small scale, cash wrapped with a rubber band and what appeared to be a "drug ledger."

Oliver made his initial court appearance on July 20, and his cash bond was set at $100,000. He is due back in court on Aug. 8.
