Centerton man accused in Benton County rape case

A Centerton man already facing a rape case in Washington County is accused of raping a boy in Benton County.

The allegations

The new accusation involves a boy and is tied to Benton County. The man is also facing a separate rape case in Washington County.

An accusation is not a finding of guilt. The court process will determine how the Benton County allegation proceeds.

Counties involved

Washington County is the location of the existing rape case. Benton County is the location identified for the new allegation. The two counties are separate jurisdictions, so court action on the new allegation would take place through Benton County authorities and courts.

What comes next

The next steps may include additional court filings, hearings and decisions about the status of the Benton County case. The Washington County case remains a separate matter.
