Molino Man Charged With Sex Crime Against Minor
November 26, 2015
A Molino man has been arrested for an alleged sex crime against a minor.
John Thomas Hughes, of the 6000 block of Highway 95A, was arrested on a count of lewd and lascivious behavior. He remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set a half million dollars.
Hughes allegedly initiated sexual contact with an underage female who got away and locked herself in a bathroom at her home, according to an arrest report.
Hughes denied the allegations, telling investigators that he believed the juvenile made up the story. Hughes changed his story and contradicted himself several times during an interview with investigators, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report.

“telling investigators that he believed the juvenile made up the story.”

$500,000 bond….more than most drug dealers and killers so must be more than a “Belief” he done it.
