The alleged abuse began when the child was six years old and continued until she was at least 14 years old, according to an affidavit and statement of facts filed in Vandalia Municipal Court.
The alleged abuse continued even after the victim became pregnant. Court records show DNA testing showed Wells was the father.
The victim said she did not report the abuse ahead of time because he reportedly made threats.
Wells is currently being held in the Montgomery County Jail.
