Woman charged in child sex abuse

A Cross County woman who faces rape, incest and child-pornography charges surrendered to law enforcement officers Thursday, authorities said.

The Cross County sheriff's office received a report last week that Veronica Blake, 34, of Wynne had sexually assaulted three youths in the past three months, according to a news release. During the investigation, detectives reportedly discovered that six other youths were "involved in the case."

Blake faces six counts of rape, six counts of incest, seven counts of computer child pornography and one count of sexual indecency with a minor, the sheriff's office said.

Arkansas State Police is assisting in the investigation, according to the release.
