MASSENA -- A Canton man is jailed without bail on accusations of forcibly raping a 14-year-old girl.

Tyler E. Provost, 20, is charged with first-degree rape, child endangerment, criminal contempt and petit larceny, police said.

On that count, he was arraigned by Massena Justice Gerald Sharlow and ordered held at the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility, Canton, without bail, the documents say.
