A man who admitted to raping a child for nearly a decade told her to “get over it” when she confronted him on social media as an adult, police said.
Ronnie Lynn Gipson, 45, apparently admitted to initiating sexual contact with the girl from when she was 4-years-old until she was 12.
The Arkansas native would allegedly use the code “do you want to play” when he wanted to engage with sexual activity with the child.
His victim, who now serves in the Air Force, recently reported the abuse and on request of investigators confronted Gipson on social media.
