Arrest Made for Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile

By  | 

    Central Speaks tries to exercise discretion in what is printed about domestic violence and sexual crimes, because these individual crimes do not pose a threat to the community at large and the victims of these crimes deserve privacy.  However, there IS a message that some in the community need to hear about such crimes.
    An arrest of an 18 year old was made by EBR Sheriff’s Officers in Central this week for Felony Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile, more commonly known as statutory rape.  The message is that a child under 17 does not have the legal ability to consent to sex, and our law enforcement officers, because it is their job, will arrest those who violate the law.
