RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - A Richmond man has been arrested in connection with a rape that happened last July.
Richmond police, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force, have arrested Defrederick Young, Jr., 35.
Marshals say Young Jr. was wanted on a rape charge after they say he forcibly raped a 15-year-old girl multiple times.
