FORT PIERCE, Fla. (CBS12 NEWS) - A 9-year-old girl followed her 
loose cat into a Fort Pierce man's apartment Wednesday, where 
she was raped, police say.

Fort Pierce police were alerted Wednesday by Lawn Wood Medical 
Center's emergency room, where the girl's mother took her for 
treatment of injuries to her privates.

She told police that she was playing outside with a friend when 
the friend asked her to get her cat. She did, but the cat got 
loose and ran into an open door at 802 N. 23rd St. She followed 
and found a man later identified as Emanuel Dawson, 53, sitting 
on a couch, according to a Fort Pierce police report.

He told her the cat was in the apartment, so she retrieved the 
animal from a laundry room. When she tried to leave, she told 
police that Dawson blocked her path. She tried to leave several 
times, but Dawson repeatedly blocked her exit, according to the 
report.

The arrest report listed Emanuel as 5'6" and 270 pounds.

When police went to Dawson's home, his daughter Wanda answered 
and said he was upstairs. When police asked that he come down 
and speak to them, he jumped out of a second-floor window, 
attempting to escape, according to the report. He was taken into 
custody.

When interviewed, he denied having sexual contact with the 
victim. He told police he jumped out of the window because he 
thought "it was bad guys coming to get him," according to the 
report.

Dawson was jailed on a felony charge of sexual assault on a 
person under 12 years of age.

Dawson just got out of prison in December after a 7-year prison 
term on a conviction for burglary to an occupied dwelling in 
2008, according to state prison records. He's been in and out of 
prison in Florida since 1980 -- nine prison terms -- on charges 
of second-degree murder, attempted robbery, escape, cocaine for 
sale or purchase, attempted extortion and constructive 
possession.

A broken and ashamed Wanda Dawson -- the suspect's adult 
daughter -- tells CBS12 the she let her father move in with her 
when he was released. She says her father's second-degree murder 
conviction was for the killing of her own mother in 1979.

Now Wanda Dawson worries that he may also have sexually attacked 
her own daughter.
