Hopkinsville man arrested for alleged rape of teen

Kentucky State Police arrested a Hopkinsville man Wednesday after he allegedly raped a juvenile last week in Ohio County.

The investigation began after allegations were made that 25-year old Austin Pointer of Hopkinsville had raped a 15-year old female in Fordsville, according to a news release, which says Pointer was arrested at his home and lodged in the Christian County Jail for one count of first-degree rape.
