Two men have been arrested in separate incidents in Madison County, Alabama and charged with child abuse and sexual abuse of a child.
Amondre Jamaul Epps, 26, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with first-degree sex abuse. According to the Madison County Sheriff's Office, Epps was arrested following a complaint that he'd had sexual contact with a child.
The child, whose age was not given, is not related to the suspect. Epps is being held in the Madison County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.
In the second case, Melvin Charles Jarrett, 48, is charged with torture/willful abuse of a child. Jarrett's arrest on Wednesday follows the investigation into a domestic violence incident in which a child in his family suffered physical injuries.
The nature of those injuries was not disclosed.
Curious. I've done 3 stories in the past year from Madison County, and 20 from Alabama. Are they just better at reporting these things, or is something else going on?
