A North Carolina man charged in the abduction of his two daughters -- including a 12-year-old who is eight months pregnant -- now faces rape and incest charges.
The 40-year-old man is charged in Lincoln County with indecent liberties with a child, first-degree rape and felony incest between near relatives.
The Associated Press does not identify alleged victims of sexual assault and is not naming the man to avoid identifying his daughter. He is already charged with child neglect and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The girls' mother reported them missing last month when the 12-year-old failed to show for a doctor's appointment.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol said troopers arrested the man last week.
N.C. group will air ad about Obama in S.C.
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A conservative North Carolina group is spending $10,000 to air ads in South Carolina this week saying that President Obama is pushing socialist health care and freeing terrorists to Bermuda.
State Sen. Andrew Brock, R-Davie, said Friday that wakeupamerica.com has bought time for the 30-second ad in Columbia, Greenville and Hilton Head Island for two weeks beginning today.
Brock, of Mocksville, said that the ads are needed to back up U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, who shouted "You lie!" at Obama as he spoke about overhauling health care.
"President Obama's deception," the ad starts as images begin flashing on the screen. "With moveon.org and Acorn, he took over -- naming communist advisers; massive government takeovers; huge tax increases; socialist healthcare; tripling our grandkids debt; freeing terrorists to Bermuda; dignifying dictators; cutting defense. Now we see the real Barack Obama."
The ad's reference to freed terrorists to Bermuda is inaccurate, critics said.
The men were detained in 2001, but American authorities concluded that they were not enemy combatants and did not pose security threats, so authorities released them to Bermuda.
The Democratic National Committee and state Democratic Party said they had no comment on the ad.
