Wichita police say nine children are in protective custody after a 37-year-old man was arrested for child rape and several counts of abuse. 

Sedgwick County Jail records show Eric McFadden was booked early Saturday morning for rape of a child under the age of 14, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and six counts of child abuse. 

He was arrested Friday afternoon, about an hour after a 13-year-old boy reported to authorities at the Patrol North substation that he and two other children had been sexually assaulted. The suspect is the boyfriend of the children's mother, Officer Charley Davidson said.

A police report states the alleged crimes happened at an apartment in the 1700 block of North Kansas, near 17th and I-135.

Nine children were living in the home and were placed in police protective custody. They include the 13-year-old boy, a 12-year-old boy, two 12-year-old girls, a 9-year-old girl, an 8-year-old boy, a 7-year-old boy and twin babies. 

McFadden's bond was set at $250,000.
