JEFFERSON CO., Ark. (KTHV) -- Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigators arrested a 21-year-old Pine Bluff man late Monday evening on probable cause for three counts of rape involving a male juvenile.

Chilton Oryan Blunt was brought in for questioning in regards to allegations that he had an inappropriate relationship with a juvenile who was assigned to him as part of his employment with the Youth Advocate Program (YAP).

According to sworn statements taken by investigators from the victim, whose name is being withheld because he is a juvenile, he and Blunt engaged in sexual activity on at least three separate occassions.

If convicted, Blunt faces the possibility of serving 10 - 40 years in prison.

Authorities say Blunt admitted his guilt during a custodial interview. Bail has not yet been set and he is currently awaiting his first appearance hearing in a Jefferson County District Court.
