Ricky Junior Thompson, a 55-year-old resident of Elkmont, Alabama, has been taken into custody on serious allegations involving the sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12, as well as first-degree sodomy. The Giles County Sheriff’s Department, working alongside the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department in Alabama, initiated an investigation after a juvenile came forward to report being victimized by these offenses.
The alleged incidents reportedly took place in both Tennessee and Alabama, leading to Thompson facing charges in both states. As the investigation continues, authorities have identified additional potential victims, prompting further inquiries into the case. Currently, Thompson remains in custody without the possibility of bond.
