"A video gamer said he was playing a game through an online multiplayer network when he heard his opponent commit a rape on June 28th.
A Pasco man was arrested for the crime last week. According to an affidavit, the gamer had been playing Grand Theft Auto with the suspect, identified as 18-year-old Daniel Enrique Fabian, of New Port Richey.
Fabien told the gamer there was a girl at his house, who he planned to "smash." The gamer told investigators they stopped playing the game, but Fabien left his microphone on. He could hear the girl groaning and saying "no." After about 15 minutes, they resumed playing, the report states.
It's unclear if the gamer was the person who reported the crime. The 15-year-old victim told detectives she was sitting on Fabian's bed when he put his hand over her mouth to push her down and rape her. "
