(October 06, 2008) - A Gatesville man is was in the Coryell County Jail Monday, charged with seven counts of sexual assault of a child in incidents involving two sisters who were 13 and 15 when the assaults began.
Chief Coryell County Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakley told News 10 John Thomas Jasper, 26, was arrested at the Gatesville Police Department on Sept. 30.
Blakley said the assaults began in 2006 and an investigation was initiated then, but police were unable to gather enough evidence for an arrest warrant.
Jasper then disappeared, Blakely said, but last month he turned up in Gatesville again.
This time investigators had gathered a significant amount of evidence, and when he showed up at the police station, he was arrested, Blakely said.
The two victims live in the Gatesville area.
Coryell County Justice of the Peace Jimmy Wood set Jasper’s bond at $140,000.
