An east Jefferson County man is behind bars, accused of sexually assault a young boy nearly a decade ago.
James Wayne McLemore, 49, was booked into the Jefferson County Jail this week. Jail records indicate McLemore is charged with three counts of first-degree sodomy involving a boy under the age of 12 and three counts of sexual torture of a child under the age of 12.
Charging documents against McLemore state the alleged abuse happened in 2013. It involved the sexual abuse of a young boy with an inanimate object.
The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case. Additional details weren’t immediately available.
McLemore remains held in the county jail on bonds totaling $300,000.
