A Webbers Falls man is accused in the Saturday sexual assault of a 14-year-old neighbor.

Muskogee County Sheriff's Investigator Tim Brown said that Walter Gilbert, 50, has been arraigned and is facing charges of rape by instrumentation and child molestation.

Brown said that the incident took place at Gardenwalk Apartments in Webbers Falls. He said the sheriff's office was called to assist the Webbers Falls Police Department.

Brown said apparently the victim and Gilbert live in adjoining apartments. The girl was home alone and was folding clothes and had left the door open to her apartment because it was warm outside. Gilbert allegedly walked through the open door to get inside the apartment where the girl lives and allegedly pushed her down and began assaulting her. The girl's aunts reportedly walked into the apartment while the assault was taking place and confronted Gilbert.

The girl's aunts immediately called police to report the assault.

Brown said Gilbert gave conflicting stories about the incident and was arrested.
