Vance Man Accused of Producing Child Porn Hit with 25 new Rape and Sodomy Charges
A Vance man arrested in December on charges of possessing and producing child porn was indicted this week on 25 new charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.
The suspect, 38-year-old George Major Battles, Jr., was arrested in December and charged with five counts of possessing child pornography and three counts of producing the same.
According to a report in the Tuscaloosa News, Battles is accused of creating videos of himself sexually abusing two victims who were younger than six years old.
The new charges, which were filed after a grand jury indictment on Feb. 14, include 22 charges of first-degree rape and three charges of first-degree sodomy.
The indictments identify two victims only by their initials and as children under the age of 12.
Battles remained in the Tuscaloosa County Jail Tuesday afternoon, where his bail was set at $1.5 million.
