JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - A Jonesboro man is free on a $150,000 bond after a judge found probable cause to charge him with rape, second-degree sexual assault, and sexual indecency with a child.

One of the victims told investigators with the Arkansas State Crimes Against Children Division that Gary Don Jones, 47, tried to get the first victim to expose herself to him, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The child reportedly told police Jones exposed himself to her.

According to the court documents, another victim told investigators Jones forced her into a sexual act and touched her inappropriately.

The Craighead County Sheriff’s Department inmate roster stated Jones was booked into jail Friday around 10:40 a.m. and released the same day at around 5:40 p.m.

A judge issued a no-contact order in the case.

Jones will appear back in court on April 30.
