An Oklahoma mother held an HIV-positive youth sports coach at gunpoint after finding him sexually abusing her young daughter inside her home, police said.

“He raped me,” an unidentified 12-year-old girl told investigators this month after her mother made the discovery in her Oklahoma City house, the Kansas City Star reported.

Police said suspect Donovan Scott Sheppard, 39, had gotten into a bar fight on Jan. 13 and was picked up by the mother, with whom he was living at the time.
