GREENE CO, Ark. (KAIT) - A man is behind bars after deputies say he was found in bed with a child.

The Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline received a report on June 25 about “a minor found in bed with an adult male.”

Detectives interviewed the victim using the Child First interview protocol.

According to the affidavit, the child told detectives that Dawayne Quinn performed “sexual acts that would constitute rape by statute.”

The affidavit stated Quinn was “a person of trust or authority over the minor.”

The next day, on June 26, a male witness told detectives that he walked into the victim’s room to find Quinn in bed under the covers with the victim.

The witness told investigators the victim appeared to be pulling up their shorts.

Greene County District Honorable Judge Dan Stidham found probable cause to Dawayne Quinn with one count of rape, a class Y felony.

Deputies arrested Quinn on Wednesday, Nov. 6, and booked him into the Greene County Detention Center, where he is awaiting his next court appearance.
