LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A Lee County man is in jail today after being charged for sexual battery.

Last month, allegations were presented against Baldwyn resident Marty Wayne Oswalt for sexual battery of a child under the age of 18.

Oswalt has no previous charges, but he did have a relationship to the victim.

“Our office is always careful not to jump the gun, look into it, substantiate the allegations in which we have on this one,” Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson said. “We came before the courts, presented a probable cause hearing, got an arrest warrant issued (and) Mr. Oswalt was arrested. Brought Mr. Oswalt before the court today with a very preliminary part of the case.”

Oswalt’s bond was set at $250,000.
