Man wanted on rape charge after 4-year-old child tests positive for STD

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Police are searching for a man accused of raping a child and spreading a sexually transmitted disease.

According to an arrest warrant, officers with the Baton Rouge Police Department were called to an address in the 5400 block of Jackson Avenue on Aug. 7 about a report of sexual assault.

Two days before, BRPD officers responded to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital regarding a sexual assault report. Officers learned the victim was taken to the hospital after the complainant saw redness and irritation on the 4-year-old child’s body.

According to an affidavit, the child told the complainant that Anthony Jelks Jr., 25, “pulled her pants down and got on top of her.” The complainant told investigators the victim was allowed to stay overnight at Jelk’s residence and dropped off on Aug. 1.
