Clinton man indicted for first-degree rape, accused of sexually abusing two children
CLINTON - A Clinton man accused of sexually abusing two children was indicted for rape by a grand jury.
Rinaldo Robinson, known as "Rah Rah," was arrested at the beginning of February for two counts of first-degree rape.
District Attorney Sam D'Aquilla says while there are two victims, Robinson was only formally charged with one count.
According to information from the East Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office, a criminal complaint was made to the Clinton Police Department at the end of December. The sheriff's office took over the investigation due to a possible conflict of interest. EFPSO said deputies identified two children as victims.
D'Aquilla says Robinson will be formally charged soon, and then the trial process will start.
While first-degree rape can be punishable by death, D'Aquilla says that is off the table for his office due to Rinaldo having no criminal history.
