A Lowndes County man has been indicted for child molestation.
Jerry Burrus, 42, was served an indictment for four counts of touching a child for lustful purposes, according to Lowndes County Circuit Court records.
The indictment accuses Burrus of molesting a female minor on four separate occasions between September 2016 and March 2017. Court records do not indicate the age of the victim, but said Burrus “occupied a position of authority over her.”
Burrus’ next court date is set for Aug. 22. His circuit court bond is set at $25,000.
