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.
