LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ala. (WAAY) – Authorities say cell phone video led them to charge a man with several sexual offenses.
Jonathan George Gillespie, 37, Hillsboro, is charged with sexual abuse of a child under 12, sodomy, sexual abuse and permitting a child to engage in pornography.
Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said a family member of a victim gave investigators a cell phone with video footage of Gillespie and a victim engaged in sexual acts. Mitchell said his department, the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the National Children’s Advocacy Center interviewed victims before questioning Gillespie last week.
