A Minden man has been arrested by police on a warrant for first degree rape.

Cameron Wytez Malone, 19, was taken into custody Sept. 24 at a residence in the 100 block of Squire Street.

Chief Steve Cropper said the mother of the victim observed Malone leaving the back door of her residence.

“The mother asked her four-year-old child what was going on,” Cropper said. “The victim indicated to the mother that a sexual activity had taken place.”

Cropper said later the same day, the boyfriend of the victim’s mother had a telephone conversation with Malone, and he admitted to the sexual assault.
