Winfield - A Hamilton man is being held on a $150,000 bond for charges of sexual abuse of an 11th-month-old child.
Daryl Baker, 30, Hamilton, is being charged for sexual abuse of a child less than 12 and remains in the Marion County Jail in Hamilton.
Winfield Police Department Lt. Dustin Hulsey said the investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible pending lab results.
Hulsey said he responded to the Northwest Medical Center’s Emergency Room in Winfield on Sunday, Aug. 11, in response to a complaint by the infant’s grandparents.
The complaint led to an investigation of possible sexual assault at the family’s residence in Winfield the following day (Monday, Aug. 12), Hulsey said.
The investigation led to the Winfield Police Department arresting Baker without incident at his workplace, Sunshine Homes Inc. in Red Bay, the same day.
Hulsey thanked the Red Bay Police Department and the 25th Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office for their assistance in the case.
(When a defendant is charged with a crime, the charge is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.)
