On May 19, 2025, Sheriff’s Detectives responded to a local hospital in reference to allegations of criminal sexual conduct that occurred in the Pineville area.

According to their initial investigation, the victim alleged they were sexually assaulted while staying at the residence of the suspect. During their investigation, Detectives determined the suspect, identified as Dakota L. Duncan, 29 of Pineville, had allegedly committed this criminal sexual conduct on the victim who was a guest at his residence. From their investigation, Detectives established sufficient probable cause that supported the victims original allegations and Detectives obtained an arrest warrant on Duncan for Third Degree Rape.

On June 11, 2025, Duncan was taken into custody without incident, placed under arrest and booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center. Duncan was released the following day on a $75,000.00 bond.

Sheriff’s Detectives say this is still an active investigation. If anyone has any further information relating to this crime, they are asked to contact Detective Tim Stanley, Criminal Investigation Division- Kolin Substation, at 318-484-7350.
