ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) – A former children’s television show host who vanished decades ago amid allegations he sexually abused children on a camping trip in Louisiana is due to be arraigned Monday on rape charges.
Almost 40 years after he was accused of obscene behavior with young boys, 76-year-old Frank John Selas III on Thursday was brought to the Rapides Parish Detention Center, according to the Daily Town Talk.
Selas was transferred to central Louisiana from a San Diego County jail in California. He was arrested on Jan. 25 at his home in Bonita, California.
He was indicted in February by a Rapides grand jury on two counts of aggravated rape, three counts of sexual battery and eight counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile.
