Pekin, Ind. - A U.S. Census worker has been charged with rape and burglary, after two women in southern Indiana claim they were attacked. One of the victims was a 21 year-old physically handicapped woman. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, he had been with the agency for two weeks.
The attack occurred Saturday morning in Pekin, Indiana in Washington County.
Police said the man broke in while a mother and daughter slept and attacked them. According to investigators, the mother had taken a mild sleeping pill. The man, identified as 39 year-old Daniel Miller, was arrested following the incident. He said he worked for the government.
Four days before the attack, neighbors in the area say they saw Miller in the area on census business. The victim told police Miller had asked about their census information. She said they had already submitted the form. She also told police that Miller stuck around and tried to get more details.

"It's unbelievable that somebody could do something like that and not have a conscience and worry about it," said resident Debbie Bishop.
Miller's apartment is located right across the road from a middle school. When a news crew knocked on the door of his apartment, another man answered. He did not want to go on camera or be identified, however, he did say Miller had two daughters of his own.
Miller was taken to the Washington County Detention Center, held on a $150,000 bond.
There are about 635,000 U.S. Census workers currently going door to door counting Americans who did not return their surveys. They will carry white badges with blue writing. The badges do not have photos. Census workers should also be carrying black canvas shoulder bags and brochures printed in 51 languages. If asked, the census takers are supposed to give you a supervisor's number to call.
guy probably used his job to prowl for victims. Predators often find work that allows them to hunt while doing “official” business.
Sounds like he was pretending to be a census worker.
No need to go through background checks when you are handing out government money.
One doesn't need to unlock their house to anyone not holding a valid search warrant.
What a horribly tragic crime. Very sad news indeed.

It is horrible, and you are right.
I sent my form back. Haven’t had any visitors and they are doing my neighborhood now.
It was addressed to current resident. And that was me. Figured they don’t need my name.
I put down the number of people living here and for race I put American.
And I’m working for the census. LOL And yes I ask the questions but if they don’t want to answer that’s fine. Just give me a number that’s all that is required.
I didn’t get mine in the mail, and someone from my class came by my house, I gave my name only because she knew it anyway and could have filled it in - I also put American. I figure we are 4th or 5th generation, so we are.
Haven't gotten an answer yet...
You aren’t holding your breath waiting for one are you? ;)
Ha...that’s why we need a sarcasm font.
There is nothing benign about the Obama junta and its czars and representitives, including you.Mussolini had conservatives do his biding to give his regime an air of legitimacy. Obama has none.
You represent Obama? You represent the enemy who conducts political and demographic warfare on the country.
