Suspect Now Under Investigation For Sexual Assaults In Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, KY – A Clayton man arrested in May 2022 for alleged sexual offenses against children in Johnston County is facing more charges after two additional victims recently came forward in Louisville, Kentucky.
James Louis Martin, age 47, of McGuire Lane, Clayton was charged May 4, 2022 for reportedly exposing himself at a community pool to girls ages 9 and 10. The complaint also involved an inappropriate relationship with an 8 year-old girl. The allegations occurred in 2021 on McGuire Lane and on Lynshire Avenue at the Chandler’s Ridge Community Pool.
After Martin’s arrest was reported in the media, another minor came forward reporting crimes that allegedly occurred from 2014 to 2018 at the victim’s home. Martin was charged May 17, 2022 with five counts of indecent liberties with a child and five counts of first-degree sexual offense with a child.
Recently, the Clayton Police Department was notified by the United States Secret Service Louisville Field Office a female minor came forward to make disclosures of a prior sexual assault in Clayton, NC after attending Operation Angel Summit. Operation Angel Summit is an educational summit for students and staff aimed at preventing child exploitation.
The United States Secret Service and Louisville, KY Metro Police Department conducted a follow-up investigation which identified an additional female minor sibling who came forward to make disclosures of a prior sexual assault that also occurred in Clayton. The two female minors reported the sexual assaults occurred at James Martin’s residence during the Summer of 2021. Authorities said the siblings also told investigators they were sexually assaulted by Martin at a hotel in Hillview, Kentucky in 2021.
The Hillview, Kentucky Police Department is conducting the investigation for the reported sexual assaults in their jurisdiction.
On March 17, 2023, Clayton Police served six additional felony warrants on James Louis Hilton. He was charged with three counts of first degree statutory sex offense and three counts of indecent liberties with a child. His bond was increased from $1 million to $1.72 million at the Johnston County Jail, where he has been confined since his initial arrest last year.
The Hillview, Kentucky Police Department, Holliston, Massachusetts Police Department, Johnston County District Attorney’s Office, Louisville Kentucky Metro Police Department, and United States Secret Service Louisville Field Office assisted with the most recent investigation.
Clayton Police said James Martin was charged by the Holliston, Massachusetts Police Department with indecent exposure in 2013. The indecent exposure occurred at Pleasure Point, which is located at Lake Winthrop in Holliston. The indecent exposure involved children. The charge was dismissed in 2014.
Sounds like a perfect JoCo commissioner candidate! #VoteOutIncumbents
People just don’t understand why a signed affidavit has not become accepted as being as strong as physical evidence in this modern “Me Too Movement”? The girl in the commissioner case said it happen and that should be acceptable as strong incontestable physical evidence! That girls signed affidavit has to be accepted as being as strong of evidence as if it was DNA or this county is as ignorant as a third world country!!!
I wonder if you both reread your comments. Totally ignoring this perverts actions and bringing up politics. Y’all are just as disgusting.
That’s what I’m sayin, either idiots or trolls
@Sw: JoCo citizens unanimously re-elected a commissioner who is a accused of taking indecent liberties with a minor.
Just so you all know, I am a guilty white progressive liberal male that has fully embraced and pledged allegiance to give reparation to our black victims of slavery that we whites have stripped them of thier wealth. All that matters is that rich white commissioner is to be jailed for these charges and his wealth is to be stripped and handed over to people of color for the sins of our ancestors no matter if he did it or not? You good ole boys will find the new jury generation are here to correct history until our progressive democrats powers to be have collapsed the system with our southern border inorder to remake it as it should be! That means no more rich white people and yes critical race theory will still be taught in our Johnston County Schools!
