A Spotsylvania County man was arrested Saturday on charges he was molesting their 8-year-old daughter, police said.

First Sgt. Liz Scott said Deputy Andrew Boone went to a home off Bragg Road about 6 p.m. in response to a 911 hang up.

A visibly upset woman answered the door and a man came from behind her holding his hands out as if he wanted to be handcuffed, Scott said.

Police said the man told the deputy, "take me away, I have done something bad."

The woman told police that she had walked into her bedroom and found her daughter with a piece of clothing over her head and her husband holding his genitals in his hand.

The woman said she tried several times to call 911, but her husband pulled the battery out of her cell phone and yanked the phone jack from the wall. But one of the calls got through.

Scott said the man also several times ordered his wife at gunpoint not to call 911, one time pointing the gun to her head. He also assaulted her during the incident.

The child was at a neighbor's house by the time Boone arrived. Both she and the mother were checked by rescue personnel.

The husband was charged with abduction, taking indecent liberties with a child, attempted forcible sodomy, sodomy, domestic assault and battery, brandishing a firearm and three counts of refusing to allow a 911 call.

He was placed in the Rappahannock Regional Jail under no bond. Police did not release his name to protect the identity of the child.
