This disturbing incident has left the community in disbelief and has raised numerous concerns about the safety of children in the area.
A Disturbing Report
The police became involved after they received a report of a sexual assault against a child on April 13th. Responding to the call, officers arrived at the scene only to find the suspect, Jmoi Charles, sitting in his car outside the home. The authorities noted that he purposefully moved to the back of his vehicle to engage with the police.
Graphic Confession
What transpired next was both alarming and unsettling. Charles made a startling admission to law enforcement, suggesting he “guesses that he is a rapist now” and went on to describe the inappropriate actions he had taken. He made mention of having taken mushrooms before detailing how he had touched two young girls in a manner that was undeniably inappropriate.
The Victims’ Accounts
One of the children, referred to as Juvenile 1, bravely shared her experience, informing the officers that Charles had entered her room and her sister’s room, engaging in unwanted touching. This distressing behavior unfolded while the children’s mother left the house to visit her boyfriend, entrusting her daughters to their grandmother’s care during her absence.
As the night progressed, the young girls felt increasingly uncomfortable. Around 11 PM, one of them texted their mother pleading for her to come home because Charles was making them feel uneasy. Responding to her children’s need for help, she returned to the home, only to be met with the horrifying revelation that Charles had touched them multiple times throughout the day, starting from around 4 PM and continuing until just before her return.
Legal Consequences
After these revelations, Charles was promptly taken into custody and booked into Chatham County jail on April 14th. As it stands, he has not been granted bond and is set to be arraigned at a later date.
