SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (KTBS) — The mother of a young child who investigators say was raped and beaten nearly to death last month is now behind bars — along with her boyfriend who was previously accused in the crime.
Caddo Parish sheriff’s investigators arrested Shea Upshaw, 31, Wednesday on charges of accessory after the fact and obstruction of justice. She was arrested in Bossier Parish and booked into the Caddo Correctional Center. No bond is set.
Already in custody is Lucas Logan, 31, of Stonewall. He’s held in CCC on charges of first-degree rape, attempted first-murder, 16 counts of production of pornography involving juveniles and molestation of a juvenile.
Logan was arrested on Aug. 2 after deputies, who responded to a sexual assault complaint, found a nearly lifeless six-year-old child in a home on Farmridge Road in Keithville.
Deputies said the child had been sexually assaulted and suffered what was described as life-threatening injuries.
Logan was identified as the suspect in the child’s injuries.
Upshaw was interviewed multiple times during the investigation. She confessed to lying to protect Lucas, the sheriff’s office said, by cleaning and removing evidence related to the crime.
Caddo District Judge Chris Victory signed an arrest warrant for Upshaw on Sept. 10.
