HAMMOND — A Hammond man was arrested for allegedly raping a child, according to Attorney General Liz Murrill's office.

James Michael Hill, 26, was arrested Wednesday by Louisiana Bureau of Investigation agents at his home in Hammond on multiple charges:
- One count of molestation of a juvenile under the age of 13
- One count of first-degree rape of a victim under the age of 13
- One count of oral sexual battery of a victim under the age of 13
- 12 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material under the age of 13
- One count of production of child sexual abuse material under the age of 13
- One count of indecent behavior with a juvenile

Hill was initially booked into the Hammond City Jail, but has since been transferred to the Tangipahoa Parish Jail. 

The AG's office said the investigation was a combined effort among the LBI Cyber Crime Unit, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations and the Hammond Police Department.
