Carter Guard Faces Rape Charges

A Secret Service agent who guards former President Carter was jailed on rape charges.

Keith Larsen, 41, surrendered Monday and was held without bail, accused of attacking a 31-year-old woman on Saturday.

The 11-year Secret Service veteran has been assigned to Carter’s Secret Service detail in Plains for 3-1/2 years, said Bill Bush, agent in charge.

Larsen, who was also charged with assault and sodomy, will be on leave pending the outcome of the case, Bush said.

Carter spokeswoman Carrie Harmon had no comment.
