A man already in the Washington County Jail was served a warrant for a class C felony on Tuesday. According to the Washington County Communications Office, 22-year-old Ernest Shaw Jr. has been charged with sexual abuse in the third degree, second or subsequent offense. Bond is set at $10,000 cash only.
The arrest warrant is related to an incident that happened on May 23rd when a 14-year-old girl was reported missing to police in Washington and later returned home.
Shaw was arrested in June on a warrant for two counts of indecent contact with a child, an aggravated misdemeanor, and one count of lascivious conduct with a minor, a felony. Those charges stem from an incident reported to law enforcement on May 19th.
