A Stone County man has been arrested and charged in connection with the alleged rape of a minor, while his wife faces charges of abuse of a minor.

Stone County Sheriff Lance Bonds says 46-year-old Lloyd Stair has been charged with eight counts of rape, a class “Y” felony. His wife, 34-year-old Stephanie Stair, has been charged with eights counts of permitting abuse of a minor, a class “B” felony. The two are being held in the Stone County Detention Center.
