METAIRIE, LA (WVUE) -
A Metairie man has been arrested for one count of
first-degree rape and one count of false imprisonment, and the Jefferson
Parish Sheriff's Office is urging anyone else who has been victimized
to come forward.
On July 9, deputies were dispatched to the 2100
block of Manson Drive in Metairie in what was initially a medical call
for a female with a leg injury sustained in a fall. Deputies determined
that the woman was trying to escape a physically abusive relationship,
and that she had injured her leg while climbing out of a window to get
away from 35-year-old Keston Mimmitt. Mimmitt was initially at the
location, but left as the woman was being treated.
