Father Finds Naked Man in Bed With His 8-Year Old

A family wakes up to find a half naked man in bed with their 8-year old daughter. It happened over the weekend to one family in Mountain Springs out near Pahrump. Police say the half-naked man broke into the family's home while they were asleep. News 3's Gerard Ramalho reports.
The suspect is Donald Felix Keesing. And yes, while all this was happening -- he was refering to himself as the "medicine man of love and peace." The family was too upset to talk about it -- and neighbors in the area still can't believe it happened.
A favorite spot for local bikers, the town of Mountain Springs is little more than a watering hole. The people who live here generally keep to themselves and rarely make the evening news.
"Shocked, Shocked... That something like that would happen up here." But that all changed this weekend.
Police say it started when the suspect wrecked his car in the area. They say he took off his clothes -- then proceeded to walk into the unsuspecting victim's home. Everyone was asleep, but eventually the parents woke up -- then they witnessed the unthinkable. "They opened the door and they determined that this person is laying in the bed, under the covers, with the 8-year-old... with his arm around her."
Authorities are still trying to determine if the little girl was sexually assaulted. Police say when they arrived -- the girl's father had beaten the suspect so badly -- they had to take him to the hospital. Those in the town say -- he's lucky he's even alive.
Police are still trying to figure out the "medicine man" angle to all this... the little girl did say the suspect tried to force a pill into her mouth. She says she didn't swallow it... she spit it out. Police say, so far, that evidence has still not been recovered.
Keesing has been charged with attempted sexual assault and will be booked into the Clark County jail once he's released from the hospital. If you have any additional information about him -- you can call the sexual assault unit directly at 229-3421.
