FORT SMITH (KFSM) — A Fort Smith man is accused of raping two children.

Danny Beckless Jr. of Fort Smith was arrested Wednesday (Feb. 22) on suspicion of felony rape and second-degree sexual assault.

Beckless is accused of forcibly raping two children less than 14-years-old.

He was being held Thursday (Feb. 23) in the Sebastian County Detention Center in lieu of a $250,000 bond.

An arrest report states Beckless is HIV positive.

Extensive forensic interviews were completed on the children.
