A man suspected of raping a fifteen year old girl nearly two decades ago is finally charged with the crime.
Lester Selmon, 47, was arrested Wednesday at his home in Pascagoula.
The rape happened in 1990 at an apartment complex on Eden Street, but it was considered a cold case until the victim, who is now 39, went to the Pascagoula Police Department last December asking investigators to take another look.
New technology applied to a sexual assault kit performed years ago resulted in the DNA match.
