YOUNGSTOWN — A superseding indictment has been issued for a Cortland man charged with rape involving a child.

Donavin M. Chipps, 25, who has been in the Mahoning County jail since Aug. 27, was indicted by a Mahoning County grand jury Thursday on four counts of rape allegedly involving one child; one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor involving another alleged victim; and three counts of gross sexual imposition involving a third alleged victim.

Two of the rape charges could result in a life prison sentence if convicted. The children were as young as 5 when the offenses are alleged to have begun in 2014 in Mahoning County. Some of the alleged crimes also were committed in 2015, according to the new indictment.

Mahoning County Sheriff’s detectives investigated a tip that led to the indictment. Chipps was indicted on the original charges in late August.

Meanwhile, Mark R. Cuprik II, 22, Shepherds Road in Poland, was indicted on sexual battery, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, two counts of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, one count of importuning and one count of sexual imposition.

Cuprik is a youth leader at Victory Christian Center in Boardman, prosecutors said.

According to a Beaver Township police report, an investigation began March 21 when Beaver police officers were sent to Beaver Township Memorial Park for a juvenile who had been taken in a vehicle by Cuprik, a family friend / youth group leader at Victory Christian Center. A chase ensued involving family members and Cuprik’s vehicle, the report states.

Cuprik drove at high rates of speed and disregarded traffic control devices, the report states. Cuprik later dropped the girl off again at the park, and she was reunited with family members.

The incident led to interviews at the Akron Children’s Hospital Child Advocacy Center with the juvenile and other family members. It also resulted in subpoenas and search warrants being issued for social media accounts, the report states.
