A Smithsburg man who police said was caught in a teenage girl's bedroom last week is being held without bond.
A relative of the girl found Richard Lee Carbaugh, 32, "without his pants" in the girl's room on the night of Feb. 20, according to the charging document filed by the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies originally responded to the residence for a report of an assault in progress. When a deputy arrived, the girl's relative said Carbaugh partially undressed in the girl's bedroom.
The girl was taken to Meritus Medical Center for a sexual assault examination and was interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center in Hagerstown the following day.
The girl told the interviewer she had sexual intercourse with Carbaugh several times over a period of about one year, the document said.
Carbaugh was charged with sexual abuse of a minor, sexual solicitation of a minor and five counts of third-degree sex offense, according to court records.
Assistant Public Defender Lisa Havilland told Washington County District Judge Mark D. Thomas during a hearing on Monday that Carbaugh has a good employment record and no previous criminal record.
Thomas denied bond, saying the alleged conduct could indicate "recidivist potential."
Carabugh is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on March 20.
