A Violet man has been booked with the forcible rape of a 15-year-old girl,
the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office said. 

Byron Curtis, 22, was arrested Monday on a warrant that accuses him of
attacking the girl last December. He remained in St. Bernard Parish Prison
Thursday in lieu of $100,000 bond, the Sheriff's Office said. 

The girl told investigators she was pulled into a gutted home in eastern St.
Bernard Parish and raped in December 2008. She told detectives that she knew
only the first name of the man, whom she said she knew through a friend. 

A news release from the Sheriff's Office said the girl allegedly identified
Curtis in a photo lineup.
