On Tuesday, the Associated Press published an article that detailed a RADE operation in Rapides Parish on Jan. 13, 2021, in which a female informant for RPSO was raped during an unmonitored sting operation at a home on Texas Avenue involving a known drug dealer.
According to the AP, Antonio Jones, 48, raped the woman who was wearing a microphone and hidden camera when she was forced to perform oral sex on him twice. She was looking to buy meth from Jones as a part of RADE’s operation.
Jones was arrested on three counts, including one count each of second-degree rape, false imprisonment and distribution of meth after recovering five grams of the substance following the operation.
He faces an Oct. 17 trial, where Rapides Parish District Attorney Phillip Terrell is pursuing two counts of third-degree rape. As he explained to News Channel 5, the prosecuting attorney, Brian Cespiva, disagreed with law enforcement’s assessment upon arrest for second-degree rape, which is forcible rape, emphasizing that police arrest, they don’t charge.
