Bristol Township police officers were dispatched to the Whitewood section of Levittown on October 24 to respond to a suicidal subject. Upon arrival, Prince’s wife told officers that her husband left the house 20 minutes ago, saying that he would kill himself, police said.
About three hours later, officers were dispatched to Lower Bucks Hospital after Price arrived and said he was suicidal because he had raped a 13-year-old girl, police said.
The next day, detectives interviewed the girl and she described two years of sexual abuse, court papers said.

According to that interview, the abuse began when the girl was 11. Prince would force the minor to watch porn while waiting in the car at the bus stop. The abuse escalated, culminating in repeated rape.
When detectives asked Prince about the claims, they said he admitted to having committed the crimes.
Prince’s bail was set at 10 percent of $500,000 and he was sent to county prison.
