Escambia Man Gets 30 Years For Abusing Two Young Children
May 4, 2016
An Escambia County man is headed to prison for three decades for abusing two young children.
James Ard, age 28 of East Ten Mile Road, entered a guilty plea to multiple child sexual abuse charges and resisting and officer without violence. Escambia County Circuit Judge Darlene Dickey sentenced Ard to 30 years in state prison. After his release from prison, Ard will be on lifetime sexual offender probation. Ard was designated a sexual predator and will be required to register as a sexual predator and comply with all statutory requirements.
The case involved Ard’s sexual abuse of two young children. On October 3, 2015, the children disclosed the abuse to their mother, and she notified the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. When they arrived on scene, deputies detained Ard in a cruiser. While deputies interviewed witnesses, Ard escaped from the back of the cruiser and fled on foot. He was located with the use of a K9.
