The son of Alton Sterling–the man Baton Rouge police killed, sparking nationwide protests–has been arrested and charged with raping a little girl.
Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in July of 2016. The shooting sparked months of rage-filled protests by Black Lives Matter groups in Louisiana and elsewhere.
But now, Sterling’s 18-year-old son, Cameron Sterling, is also in trouble with the law, according to WBRZ.
The younger Sterling was arrested on December 9 when doctors at a local hospital called police about an alleged assault on an eight-year-old girl.
Sterling has been accused of raping the young girl while two other children were in the residence, police said.
The teen has been charged with first-degree rape. Bond has not been set.
