A convicted sex offender has been arrested on multiple charges, including two counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile, Alexandria Police reported.
The suspect, Mark Anthony Leduff II, 21, of Alexandria, was arrested Wednesday by Alexandria Police officers with assistance from the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Office, Marksville Police and the U.S. Marshals Service's Sex Offender Task Force.
In addition to the two counts of carnal knowledge, Leduff is charged with failure to register as a sex offender, computer sex solicitation, resisting an officer and battery on an officer, authorities said.
The investigation began on May 15 when Alexandria Police officers were told by an Alexandria woman that her juvenile daughter was involved in sexual behavior with Leduff, police said.
Detectives discovered that Leduff was a sex offender who failed to register with Alexandria Police and report according to the law, a news release said. Evidence also was gathered to secure arrest warrants on the investigation of carnal knowledge and computer sex solicitation.
Officers began searching for Leduff who eluded arrest until Wednesday when officers located him at a residence on Legion Drive in Marksville.
"Following a brief struggle with officers upon contact," Leduff was arrested and booked into the Avoyelles Parish Detention Center, the release said.
Leduff was extradited back to Rapides Parish and booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center.
