Connecticut man charged with killing toddler in Wilmington, now indicted with raping child

A Connecticut man already facing charges he killed his girlfriend’s 22-month-old daughter last year in Wilmington, is now facing an additional charge of rape.

A review of court documents by Delaware Online/The News Journal found that 30-year-old Timothy Olschafskie has been indicted with raping the toddler.

Few details were provided in the indictment that was made public last week, but the two-page court document claims Olschafskie “did intentionally engage in sexual intercourse with “the child sometime between Dec. 1, 2022, and March 11 — that’s the day police were called to a Wilmington apartment in reference to a “CPR in progress involving a child.” The toddler died later that day.

Olschafskie had not been charged with rape when he was arrested in his Connecticut home or after he was extradited to Delaware in November . His other charges include second-degree murder and first-degree murder by abuse or neglect.

Olschafskie, who’s scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday, Jan. 23, remains at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after failing to post a $2 million cash bail.
