A Boyle County man sits in jail on child pornography charges. But neighbors reportedly have even more reason to be wary.

Mocks Creek Drive in Danville, has been rocked by the arrest of Mark Andrew Morris on child pornography charges. Now those charges have led to even more startling revelations. The 52 year old is accused of setting up a hidden camera in the house and secretly videotaping a young girl undressing. The girl was a friend of someone who lives in the house.

According to an affidavit investigators found videos showing a female between the age of 12 and 14 nude as she was using the bathroom and taking a shower. It goes on to state at the beginning and end of the videos, a male is observed placing the video camera in the bathroom and removing it. A female who lives in the house told police she recognized the man’s clothing. Officers found multiple videos and a camcorder among other items.

Neighbors are understandably concerned. “If there is someone out there like this they need to be off the streets…need to be away from children,” says neighbor Stuart Harper.

This isn’t the first time Morris has been investigated. In 2000 he was charged with Sex Abuse and Indecent Exposure. The first charge was dismissed. Court records show that a jury later convicted Morris of Indecent Exposure two years later, but the conviction was overturned.

Gifford described his wife a soft-spoken woman who is loved by everyone she knows. She is 5 feet 4 inches tall weighing about 112 pounds and was last seen wearing a multicolored tank top, blue jeans and sandals.

The Boyle County sheriff says John Essex, better known as Mikey, fled a drug raid and is on the loose after driving through these fences during a police chase Friday morning.

Sheriff Elliot says the drug raid took place just after midnight on Friday and that’s when Mikey Essex fled in his car. Deputies used spike strips to try and slow Essex down, but the suspect lost control of his car and drove through several fences and then left running. The Lexington Police helicopter was called to the scene but officials were unable to locate Essex.

He’s described to be in his early 50’s with black and gray hair. He’s about 5’8″ with a medium build. Sheriff Elliot says they have no reason to believe he’s still in Boyle County but after his actions on Friday, he’s considered a danger to society.

“This man’s actions that night were clear that he did not care nor did he have any regard for anyone but himself by fleeing from law enforcement and driving in the reckless manner that he did. He put the public at a great risk,” said Boyle County Sheriff Marty Elliot.

The sheriff says this man is considered armed and extremely dangerous. In fact, he’s also wanted in Mercer County. If you know where he may be call the Boyle County Sheriff’s Office.
