Shreveport man accused in rape of 11-year-old:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

MANSFIELD – A 28-year-old Shreveport man remains in custody without bond today for allegedly having sex with an 11-year-old girl who was attending a weekend slumber party. And the woman who was caring for the girl also is incarcerated in connection with the alleged sexual assault, DeSoto sheriff’s Cpl. Dusty Herring said.

Calvin Authier, of Shreveport, was arrested Friday. Herring and Shreveport police officers located Authier at his apartment and arrested him without incident.

The 11-year-old’s parents filed a report with the DeSoto sheriff’s investigators Monday. The girl was invited to a slumber party Jan. 15 at Patricia Harmon’s residence in south DeSoto Parish. Authier dates one of Harmon’s older daughters, Herring said.

Alcohol and narcotics use were prevalent among adults at the party, Herring said, adding that the 11-year-old at some point that night was raped in a back bedroom, where a 12-year-old boy also was present. Other young girls were attending the slumber party.

“Unfortunately, the little girl had to stay there until Sunday morning when Patricia Harmon took her back home,” said Herring, who is investigating the case along with Cpl. Garland Hensley.

Harmon denied knowing the alleged rape occurred, he said. Authier also says he is not guilty and offered to submit to DNA testing. Authier has a criminal history with charges including burglary, unauthorized entry and domestic abuse battery.

Harmon, 41, is charged with principal to aggravated rape, contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, possession of marijuana and probation violation. She also is in jail pending bond.

You got all that?

One point for having a kids slumber party at the same time booze and drugs are being used by the so called adults, another point for the rape of a little girl, one more point for basically forcing a 12-year-old boy to witness it, 2 points for the the 2 days that she had to wait at the scene of the crime until dope smoking party mom took her home, and one last point for letting your daughter date someone with a history of domestic abuse. That's six.
