The adult son of a community welfare worker at the Pakistan Consulate in New York City has been charged with raping a 13-year-old girl, prosecutors say.
Mehmood Rahimoon, 20, was arraigned early Thursday on charges of rape, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
Authorities say the two met on Whisper, an app where users post anonymous messages. They say Rahimoon and girl and met three times — the final time Dec. 1 at a Bronx motel.
Rahimoon was arrested after the girl's father learned of the encounters.
Rahimoon's attorney promised a "total defense."
His father, Muhammad Rahimoon, told the Daily News the allegations are fabricated and his son is a good person.
