SMITH COUNTY, Texas — Arrest documents state a Henderson man, who was arrested last week on continuous sexual abuse and assault of a child charges, raped a young girl multiple times over a period of around three years.
Russell Lewis Evans, 21, was arrested Thursday on charges of continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 and sexual assault of a child. He was booked into the Smith County Jail, where he remains on a $1 million bond, jail records show.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, the victim said the first incident of Evans raping her happened when she was under 14 years old. In an interview with officials, she recounted what happened to her over the years and said Evans threatened her to not tell anyone.
The affidavit said Evans would say, "don't tell anybody or else I'm going to hurt you." In one instance, he said he would put a gun to her head and shoot if she told someone.
When confronted about the allegations by someone, they told investigators Evans did not seem upset and only said "I didn't do that" and "what do you mean," the affidavit said.
