(KNSI) – A St. Cloud man accused of raping a preteen girl multiple times has turned himself in to authorities.
Jay’Von James Boone has been charged with two felony counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. In May 2022, a child under 13 told her parents that Boone had sexually assaulted her multiple times. The 18-year-old Boone is also accused of showing the girl pornography on his cell phone. A summons was issued for him to appear in court on June 26th, but he failed to show. A warrant was issued, and he was arrested three days later.
According to court records, a forensic interview was conducted with the girl at the Child Advocacy Center, where she described multiple acts committed against her stretching back to the fall of 2021. Prosecutors have filed a notice to seek an aggravated sentence.
Bail was set at $100,000. His next court appearance is August 25th.
Court records didn’t indicate why it took more than a year after the alleged crime to charge Boone.
