Beulah Man Accused Of Sexual Battery Of Juvenile Girl
September 7, 2022
A Beulah man is accused of the sexual battery of a juvenile girl.
Jesse William Craig, 40, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on charges of lewd or lascivious battery on a victim age 12 to 16, child abuse with great bodily harm, and sexual battery on a victim age 12-18.
In late August, the juvenile female victim told investigators that Craig had been sexually assaulting her since May 13. She later disclosed the abuse to a family member, according to an arrest report.
She told investigators that Craig began to touch her after smoking marijuana on the porch and giving her “gunshots”, which she described as him blowing marijuana smoke in her mouth. She said the sexual abuse escalated in mid-June.
The victim provided a consistent and detailed disclosure of sexual abuse with no obvious motivation to falsify her allegations, the report continues.
Craig remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $300,000.

@rad. Most victims know their attacker. And it’s usually a close relative and usually under 18. At least 25% of ALL women have been sexually assault in their lifetime. At least half of those when they were still a minor. 99% of the attackers are men. Sexual assault in this county is the pandemic that isn’t talked about.
If true, two need to go hunting and only one comes back.
Why is a 40 year old man sitting on a front porch smoking weed with your 12-16 year old daughter?
95% plus of the stories I read on this website regarding sex crimes of children are perpetrated by someone the victim knows; step-parents, mom’s boyfriends, teachers, principles, coaches, pastors, neighbors, and family friends.
These are not strangers folks. Wake up and pay attention to the people in your children’s lives.
These kind of people are not just sick, they are pure evil.
