GATESVILLE (March 16, 2010)--Clayton Owen Batchelor, 31, a native of Burnet, was in the Coryell County Jail Tuesday charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault.

Batchelor is being held in lieu of bond $100,000 bond set by Coryell County Justice of the Peace Larry McDonald and on a motion to revoke probation from Mills County for a previous conviction for aggravated assault.

He was arrested Dec. 28, 2009, in Plant City, Fla., and was returned this week to Gatesville.

He refused to sign a waiver of extradition to be brought back to Texas so a governor’s warrant was requested and an extradition hearing was held in Florida.

The sexual assault charges stem from an incident reported in September 2008 when he was living with a woman in Coryell County.

Deputies received a report 15-year-old girl on was assaulted two occasions.

Warrants for Batchelor's arrest were issued in February 2009.
