One of Alton Sterling's sons was indicted Wednesday on first-degree rape counts involving two 8-year-old boys.

Cameron Sterling, 20, of Baton Rouge, was first arrested in December 2018 and accused of raping one of the boys while he was babysitting the child earlier that month.

Another arrest warrant was filed last August that accused Sterling of sexually assaulting another boy in November 2018. That boy was staying at a friend's house where Sterling was present, the warrant states.

Because Sterling was 18 at the time of both alleged incidents, he would face a mandatory sentence of life in prison if convicted of first-degree rape.

The Metro Council recently rejected an attempt by the lawyers representing Alton Sterling's five children to make a quicker payout of a proposed $4.5 million settlement of their wrongful death lawsuit against the city-parish.

Now the attorneys will either have to accept the five-year payment plan in the original settlement the council approved or take their chances in a jury trial.
