LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - Authorities say a Calcasieu Parish sheriff's deputy was fired after his arrest on rape and other sex charges.

Sheriff Tony Mancuso said in a news release that a woman reportedly contacted the sheriff's office on Oct. 30 and said her juvenile daughter was having sex with 40-year-old David N. Thomas of Moss Bluff.

Mancuso said Thomas was fired Tuesday night.

Thomas faces charges of sexual battery and forcible rape.
