A 20-year-old LaPlace man has been arrested in connection with the brutal rape of a teen that took place in Montz.
The 19-year-old told authorities that she was walking in the 700 block of N. Villere Street in New Orleans on Aug. 17 when a car stopped beside her. Two men exited the vehicle and Kevin N. Allen placed a towel over her face. The other man, who has not yet been identified, put the teen in a choke hold and forced her into the car, according to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Allen allegedly pulled out a gun and told the girl that he would shoot her if she screamed. The men drove the girl to a wooded area in Montz where she says she was raped several times.
The women told authorities that the two men also stole her purse, cell phone, money and ID cards before dropping her off in Kenner.
She then flagged down a citizen who called police.
The St. John Sheriff’s Office identified information linking Allen to the crime and he was arrested on Friday after being identified by the victim. He is being held at the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center on a $1 million bond.
The incident is still under investigation and Yoes said that the Sheriff’s Office plans to make at least one more arrest in connection with the crime.
