An investigation is under way after the Wetumpka Police Department arrested a man for second-degree rape and three counts of production of child pornography with minors.
Officers arrested Malik Johnson, 23, of Wetumpka, Saturday morning and booked him into the Elmore County Jail on the charges.
“It is the same minor victim for all the charges,” Wetumpka police chief Ed Reeves said.
Reeves said he couldn’t comment about details related to the charges because of the age of the victim.
Alabama law describes second-degree rape as a perpertraitor being 16 years old or older and engages in sexual intercourse with another person who is 12 years old or older but less than 16 years old and the age difference is two or more years.
It is a Class B felony and if found guilty of second degree rape, Johnson faces a prison sentence of two to 10 years.
Johnson was also charged with first-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Johnson posted a $212,000 bond and was released Sunday afternoon.
