A 41-year-old Houma man was arrested last week in connection with sexually abusing a girl when she was 10 years old, authorities said.


Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman said authorities charged Derek Jones, of Stadium Drive in Houma, with aggravated rape after learning he had allegedly forced a 10-year-old family member to perform oral sex on him. According to Coleman, the abuse continued for almost three years. Police said the alleged encounters between Jones and the girl occurred at a home in East Houma, as well as other locations.
