Teen arrested, accused of raping girl in Clairton

CLAIRTON, Pa. — A teen accused of raping a girl at gunpoint in Clairton has been arrested.

According to Allegheny County Police, Ziyeed Kidd, 16, allegedly raped a girl as she waited on a bus to arrive.

The alleged victim, who knew Kidd prior to the incident, was convinced to wait at a house with him until a bus arrived, according to a criminal complaint.

According to the complaint, Kidd began making advances at the victim that she refused and eventually worked to get away.

As the victim tried escaping, Kidd began pulling on the victim’s hair, guiding her into an abandoned garage in a nearby alley, the complaint read.

That is where police said the alleged rape may have happened.

“It’s quiet for the most part,” Breonna Williams, a Clairton resident said. “It makes me think I should do better to protect myself.”

Police said the victim was able to identify Kidd by looking at a photo lineup.

Kidd now faces several charges, including rape, sexual assault and carrying a gun without a license. He is being held at Allegheny County Jail on $500K bond.

Allegheny County Police are handling the case.
