BATON ROUGE — A man accused of molesting two young children in 2023 was arrested by East Baton Rouge Parish deputies. 

Deputies began investigating 41-year-old Shalom Moalem-Rabi in May after receiving a tip from the FBI alleging that he raped a 7-year-old girl on multiple occasions and made the girl and her 5-year-old brother "fondle his penis."

Moalem-Rabi also encouraged the siblings to have sex with each other.

"They let us do sex," the young girl told authorities during the investigation. 

Moalem-Rabi was arrested and charged with two counts of molestation of a juvenile, as well as one count each of first-degree rape of a juvenile and aggravated crimes against nature.
