A Cameron man faces two felony charges in Caldwell County after he allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl last week.
Twenty-two-year-old Ja’Quawn Jones has been charged with first-degree rape or attempted rape and fourth-degree child molestation involving a child less than 17 years of age and an offender greater than four years older. Bond is $500,000 cash only for Jones, and he is not to have contact with the alleged victim. A bond appearance hearing is scheduled for August 12.
A probable cause affidavit accuses Jones of pushing the girl onto the hood of his vehicle and having deviate sexual intercourse with her after parking in a field entrance on Northwest Custer Drive of Cameron. The girl reportedly told Jones no multiple times and became scared when he told her there was a gun in the vehicle.
