CANTON – A North Canton man is accused of raping a 12-year-old child last year.
According to Stark County Jail records, Darrell H. Jones, 34, of Mississippi Street SE, was brought back from prison on Monday to face felony charges of gross sexual imposition and two counts of rape.
He was on parole after serving time in prison for having weapons under disability and three counts of drug possession when the allegations occurred between May 2020 and December 2020, according to Stark County court records and Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction records.
Court records show he was returned to prison after he violated his parole and, when a Stark County grand jury indicted him in February on the sex offense charges, he was still in the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton.
