Alabama man charged with child sexual abuse
Prosecutors say victim was 4 years old
ALBERTVILLE, Alabama — Prosecutors say a man has been charged with sexual abuse of a 4-year-old child after an investigation that began nearly a year ago.
The Marshall County District Attorney's Office says 30-year-old Adam Wayne Sparks has been charged with sexual abuse of a child under 12 and torture-willful abuse of a child.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Bray says police were called when two children were spotted playing in a roadway naked and unsupervised in an Albertville neighborhood in December.
The children were interviewed at the Children's Advocacy Center after police did a welfare check during the investigation.
Bray says the 4-year-old child disclosed information that led to Sparks' arrest.
Sparks is being held at the Marshall County jail. It's unclear whether Sparks has an attorney.

A Pleasant Grove couple was arrested this morning on charges involving sex abuse of a child and pornography.
Charles Leighton Allen Jr., 47, and Paula Davidson Allen, 41, were taken into custody this morning by Jefferson County sheriff's deputies.
