New details into the rape and death of LSU student Madison Brooks have revealed that one of the suspects was involved in a prior rape of a 12-year-old girl in 2020, the NY Post reported. 

According to documents obtained by WBRZ, Kaivon Washington, 18, was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl at the age of 15. Reports state, that the two attended a birthday party and after the girl left the party to go swimming at an apartment complex Washington allegedly followed and raped her. The incident occurred at Livingston Parish in May or June 2020, reports note. 

The girl told police that Washington forced her towel off and raped her for about 30 minutes in an apartment. The 12-year-old was taken to the hospital where she was examined. Washington denied the allegations and the case had gone cold until recently. A witness came forward on Friday stating that she had seen Washington go into a room with the victim. 

“She witnessed the accused enter the victim’s bedroom, but denied hearing any voices or sounds that would have led her to think someone was having sex,”

the arrest report states.

“She further stated that she did not hear anyone hollering.”

Ron Haley, Washington’s lawyer, addressed the allegations against his client and questioned the timing of the witness. 

“Mr. Washington and his mother cooperated with the investigation two years ago, and law enforcement took no action,”

Haley said.

“Upon the review of the new statement from a witness that came forward yesterday, we are concerned not only of the timing of this statement, but whether it meets the threshold of probable cause.”

Washington was arrested and charged with third-degree rape in connection to the alleged rape of LSU student Madison Brooke who later died from being struck by a vehicle after Washington along with two other men and a 17-year-old boy dumped her on the side of the street.
