Following up on a complaint that originated in April of this year, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) has made an arrest. According to information provided by the MCSO, a complaint was received by the parent of a child concerning a 36-year-old male attempting to solicit sexual acts and exchanging sexually explicit texts and pictures with their minor child, who was under the age of 17. This complaint prompted an investigation by the MCSO, which yielded sufficient probable cause and evidence that “sexual acts had occurred between the 36-year-old and the minor child, as well as solicitation and sexually explicit text messages.” It was determined by the investigation that these events “had occurred over a period of time, beginning in March of 2024.”
Based on the probable cause and supporting evidence developed during the investigation, Timothy Edward Terry, of Lee, a white male, date of birth Sept. 4, 1987, was arrested and charged with: sexual assault by a 24-year-old or older on a victim 16 or 17 years of age and obscene communications/use of a computer to seduce or solicit a child.
The case remains open and is still under investigation. All persons arrested are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
