In 2018, the victim and Armstrong were both in the Lion King play. The victim told investigators that Armstrong would rape her on the way home from play practice.
According to court documents, Armstrong was taken into custody by the Juvenile Office after attempting to rape a 5-year-old girl when he was 12 years old and allegedly tried to digitally penetrate another female he was in a play with.
Armstrong is being held without bond at the Callaway County Jail. Shane Farrow is listed as Armstrong's defense attorney.
Armstrong's initial court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday.
