A 35-year-old convicted sex offender from Janesville who’s facing new charges after being accused of raping an ex-girlfriend, makes an appearance in Rock County Court.

Last week Terrance O. Harvey Jr. waived his right to a preliminary hearing o a charge of third degree sexual assault, and Court Commissioner Mason Braunschweig bound him over for trial.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim met with Harvey at a Beloit hotel in November of 2023 in order to bring him food for Thanksgiving and to allow him to see their three-month-old baby.

The victim reported that Harvey, who has a history of abuse, forced her to perform oral sex, and had forcible intercourse. She said she was afraid to report the crime until she saw he was already in custody at the Rock County Jail.

Harvey is scheduled to appear back in Rock County Court on July 31st for his arraignment.
