SEMMES, Ala. — A Semmes man was arrested Friday on charges including child sexual abuse, rape and incest, according to Mobile Police Department arrest records filed in circuit court.
John Elmore Bradley III, 38, was arrested by MPD officers around 11:45 a.m. Friday at his residence on Blackwell Nursery Road, according to the records, which were filed Monday, Aug. 3.
The complaint alleges the conduct began as early as 2019.
Bradley was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail and charged with two counts of first-degree rape — one involving an individual under 12 years old — first-degree sexual abuse, sexual abuse of an individual under 12 years old, and incest.
Under Alabama law, first-degree rape is a Class A felony, and incest is a Class C felony that applies to sexual activity between close relatives. The charges against Bradley are accusations only, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
