Two Helena-West Helena residents are sought in the reported rape of a 14-year-old girl, according to authorities.

The Helena-West Helena Police Department said in a release Wednesday that Darryl “Boo” Harlan, 29, is wanted on one count of rape involving a minor.

Investigators say the teen’s mother, Sherris “Punky” Ingram, 37, knew of a sexual relationship between Harlan and the victim but did nothing to stop it.

The victim had reportedly been raped by Harlan since she was 13 years old, police said.

Harlan fled Arkansas and could possibly be in the area of Detroit, the release states.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Harlan and Ingram is asked to call Helena-West Helena police at (870) 572-3441.
