Pierce allegedly ripped open the 12-year-old’s shirt as he held her down on the bed when the mother walked in.

The mother reported hearing her daughter scream “No, no, no” from down the hallway, court documents obtained by local NBC affiliate WTHR stated.

After seeing the man on top of her daughter, the mother said she shot Pierce, who she claimed also had a gun in his hand.

The young victim told officers that she was able to escape as her mother fired at the suspect.

Law enforcement initially responded to a the attempted rape of a girl at the inn and later learned about the injured man.

He was taken to Eskenazi Hospital to be treated for his injuries.

The girl was taken to Riley Hospital for Children to be examined after she claimed Pierce’s gun hit her.

The girl traveled to the inn with her sister and grandmother on May 24 after her mother didn’t return home.

The family found the mother and Pierce in the Baymont Inn lobby.

At some point, the girl was left alone with Pierce in a room while the mother and sister took items to the car, according to the documents.

That’s when Pierce took the opportunity to allegedly assault the girl before her mother burst in.

It’s still unclear at this time why the mother and Pierce were at the lobby.

A warrant was issued for Pierce’s arrest.

The warrant charged him with rape, child molesting, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.

He was also charged with confinement where the victim is under 14 years of age.

PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS

Pierce had previously pleaded guilty to two different child molestation charges back in 2016.

Indiana’s Sex Offender Registry has listed Pierce as a “sexually violent predator” in its records.

He was convicted in February and March 2016 in Hendricks and Marion County, respectively, for child molesting.

He was sentenced to eight years in prison at the time.

Pierce has been missing since Tuesday and was last spotted at a local Regal 8 Inn in Indianapolis.
