Perv ‘drugged’ own kid

Qns. jury hears of sick tactic of addicting stepdaughter

AN EX-CON accused of raping one of his stepdaughters used to stalk one of the girls — and got her hooked on drugs so he could control her more easily, her sister told jurors in Queens on Monday.

Lorenzo Arline had made life a living hell for his wife’s two daughters after he moved into their Queens home in the weeks following his release from a Florida prison in 2004 for manslaughter.

Arline, 44, is accused of raping the girls between 2005 and 2007, when they were teens. He had married the mother while he was still in prison, and the couple had a child together.

One of the daughters testified Monday that Arline stalked her younger sister after she had been removed from the home and placed in foster care.

“He would watch her to see how she got home from school,” she said. “He wanted to know where she was, what route she took.”

The Daily News is not naming the witness or the mother to protect the identity of the alleged victim.

The sister said she also believed Arline was drugging her sister in an effort to get her addicted and easier to control. She said she saw him inject her in the bathroom of their home. “He put her on drugs,” she said. “I want to say it was heroin, but I’m not sure.”

The mother had suffered a stroke, and prosecutors said Arline took advantage of her incapacity to abuse her daughters.

A friend of the mother told jurors that in 2005 she saw Arline in bed with a daughter “in the spoon position,”her back to him.

“I thought it was inappropriate for them to be in bed together,” the witness said. “Especially with her being a young girl and him being an older man — and her stepfather.”

Another witness, a home attendant, said that the same year, she saw the oldest daughter naked in a bedroom with her stepfather.

Five days later, the attendant said, she was walking home from work and noticed Arline was following her. He approached her as she arrived at her front door. “He began to explain to me that he did nothing wrong,” she said.

Then he got a call from the daughter whom she had seen in bed with Arline. She said the pair began to argue on the phone. “It ended by him saying that he was ‘gonna f--k her real good tonight,’ ” she said.

The attendant testified that she never told the mother what she saw, but said at one point that the mom expressed concern that her eldest daughter was trying to break up her relationship with Arline.
