On Thursday, he was released from the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a $150,000 bond.
Washington was booked into Livingston Parish Detention Center, online records show,4WWLandNOLA.comreport.
While they were in the apartment, Washington followed the victim into her room where he allegedly covered her mouth while he raped her for about 30 minutes, the affidavit states, per the outlets.
Washington allegedly denied the accusation, the documents show. Washington was never charged in the incident until now. Investigators took another look at the case after Brooks' rape when a witness told police she allegedly saw Washington follow the then-12-year-old victim into her room, WBRZ reports.

However, he told WBRZ, “Mr. Washington and his mother cooperated with the investigation two years ago, and law enforcement took no action. Upon the review of the new statement from a witness that came forward yesterday, we are concerned not only of the timing of this statement, but whether it meets the threshold of probable cause.”
Washington is one of four men who are charged in connection with Brooks' rape after she left Reggie’s bar near the LSU campus in a highly intoxicated state, say police.
Washington and a 17-year-old male, whose identity is not being revealed because he is a minor, each allegedly raped Brooks in the back of their friend’s car, the affidavit states.
Two other men, Everett Lee, 28, and Casen Carver, 18, were in the front seat when the alleged rapes were taking place, according to the affidavit.

Brooks, who had a blood-alcohol level of .319 percent — almost four times the legal limit in Louisiana — had trouble remembering where she lived, so the men dropped her off on a desolate stretch of highway near a subdivision on Burbank Drive, the affidavit states.
The suspects have yet not entered pleas in the Brooks case. Washington has not yet entered a plea in the 2020 case.
Attorneys for Lee and Carver did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
