Updated 2:22 pm, Saturday, May 14, 2016

ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) — A former children's television show host who vanished decades ago amid allegations he sexually abused children on a camping trip in Louisiana is due to be arraigned Monday on rape charges.

Almost 40 years after he was accused of obscene behavior with young boys, 76-year-old Frank John Selas III on Thursday was brought to the Rapides Parish Detention Center, according to the Daily Town Talk (http://townta.lk/1WxqOGP ). Selas' lawyer says his client is innocent of the charges.

Selas was transferred to central Louisiana from a San Diego County jail in California. He was arrested on Jan. 25 at his home in Bonita, California.

In February, he was indicted by a Rapides grand jury on two counts of aggravated rape, three counts of sexual battery and eight counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile.

1. Anyplace that is a gathering place for kids

Will attract perverts

Church youth groups, boy scouts, girl scouts, schools public swimming pools and the like

It's a damned shame but never let your kids out of your sight
