Louisiana Man Arrested for the Alleged Rape of a Minor Over Several Years
Lake Charles, Louisiana – The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed on September 14, 2022, that on September 8, deputies received a complaint about Nicholas L. Kastrick, 34, of Sulphur, Louisiana, allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with a minor under the age of 15. According to the victim, the occurrences had been recurring for several years, with the most recent occurring the day before.
Later that day, after speaking with detectives, Kastrick was arrested and booked into the Calcasieu Correctional Center, where he was charged with 3rd-degree rape. His bond was set at $850,000 by Judge Tony Fazzio.
The inquiry is ongoing, and additional charges are possible.
Detective Kara Adams of the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office is the case's lead investigator.
An arrest is an indication that probable cause exists to believe the subject was involved in the offense alleged. A person is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
