A Roanoke Rapids woman was charged Thursday with first-degree sex offense involving a child under the age of 6.

Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Chuck Hasty said around 12:45 p.m., Lieutenant Perry Parks arrested Maraya Lane Rowland, 23, on warrants obtained by Investigator Frankie Griffin.

Griffin investigated a report from the victim's mother on July 26 alleging inappropriate contact occurred between Rowland, who was in a caregiver capacity, and the child.

Rowland received a $10,000 bond and October 21 court date.
