WEIRTON, W.Va. —

A Weirton man is accused of having sexual intercourse with a 2-year-old and giving the toddler a sexually transmitted disease.

Tyler Graham, 19, is facing one count of sexual abuse of a minor, but police said more charges could be filed.

Weirton police Detective Gerard Spencer said this is "probably one of the worst cases I've seen being here."

Spencer said relatives first thought the toddler had a diaper rash, but learned from doctors it was something else.

"Weirton Medical Center called us to come up there. A 2-year-old baby had just had surgery for wounds relating to a sexual abuse case," Spencer said.

Officials said Graham will likely make his first appearance in court on Friday.
