A Keithville woman and her boyfriend are facing charges of rape for the sexual assault of a juvenile, said Sheriff Steve Prator.

Ashley Romans, 26, was arrested on Friday, November 6, in Shreveport following an investigation by Caddo Sheriff’s Dets. Ray Saunders and Chris Ardoin. Romans was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center for first-degree rape.

On Saturday, the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force arrested Jacob Drew Farnell, 29, in Monroe on a Caddo Sheriff’s Office warrant.  Farnell was booked into the Ouachita Correctional Center as a fugitive. He faces charges in Caddo Parish for first-degree rape and sexual battery.

Det. Saunders obtained the warrant for Farnell while investigating an allegation that Farnell and Romans were involved in inappropriate behavior involving a juvenile under the age of 13 on at least two occasions.
