Fayetteville, AK – Scott Sholds, a 31-year-old Arkansas man, was jailed Wednesday after he allegedly raped a two-year-old girl and recorded it on a cell phone.
According to police, an investigation was launched after Sholds’ ex-girlfriend discovered a video on her cell phone which showed a man having sexual contact with a very young girl.
The ex-girlfriend went forward to police to report the video, stating that she recognized the man in the video as being her ex-boyfriend, Sholds. A forensic investigation later confirmed that Shold was the adult depicted in the video. The child in the video was identified as the two-year-old daughter of an acquaintance.
Sholds initially denied being in the video, and told police he never lived or slept at the little girl’s home. Police later discovered that Sholds lived with the girl and her family for 9 days.
Sholds, who has been arrested repeatedly on domestic battery charges, was booked into the Washington County Detention Center and charged with felony rape or sexual intercourse, computer exploitation of a child and suspicion of distributing, possession and viewing child pornography. He remains held on $100,000 bond.
