Man charged with 7 counts of rape

Little Rock, Arkansas — Deputies from the Sharp County Sheriff’s Office detained a man on suspicion of repeatedly raping many youngsters.

Jack Huffmaster, Jr., 59, of Hardy, was charged with seven charges of rape, six counts of second-degree sexual assault, and three counts of third-degree battery after a court found probable cause to do so.

According to court records, Huffmaster began sexually abusing the kids in 2011 and did so “many times.”

After one of the victims was admitted to the hospital in January, detectives became aware of the accusations.

According to an affidavit, the detective’s investigation led them to determine that the victim’s siblings were also victims.

Wednesday saw the arrest of Huffmaster by deputies.
