BATON ROUGE - A man is accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl for nearly two years.

The Baton Rouge Police Department said Felix Brown, 57, was arrested Wednesday after officers responded to a sexual assault complaint.

Upon arrival, the 12-year-old victim told police that Brown, who was close to her family, had been abusing her since she was 10 years old.

Brown was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Thursday. He faces charges of first-degree rape of a victim under 13 years of age and sexual battery.
