A Baldwin County grand jury indicted Thomas Pinion on one count of first-degree sexual abuse in December 2007, according to WKRG.
Investigators alleged that a five-year-old relative was abused at a home in the Lake Forest subdivision. Authorities said they were trying to locate Pinion and believed he might be in South Carolina. His attorney told WKRG that Pinion knew about the indictment and might turn himself in.
WKRG reported that Pinion’s wife and Care House, the child-advocacy organization she had directed, were not part of the investigation.
This is a historical account of an indictment and investigators’ allegations reported in 2007. An indictment is not a conviction, and this report does not state a final court outcome.
