Attorney General Steve Marshall Announces Arrest of Dale County Man for Multiple Child Sex Crimes

According to an official release by Attorney General Steve Marshall on Dec. 4, a Dale County man has been arrested on multiple charges of sex crimes, including production of child pornography, sexual abuse of a child, possession of child pornography, and bestiality.

Jason Park, 39, of Pinckard, was initially arrested on Nov. 25 by special agents of the attorney general’s office. As more evidence was uncovered, he was arrested twice again, on Nov. 27 and Dec. 2, on numerous additional charges. Each time he was released on bond, for a total of $316,000.

Park now is charged with a total of 26 felonies and one misdemeanor as a result of warrants brought by special agents of Attorney General Marshall’s Office. A warrant is merely an accusation. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Specifically, he is charged with three counts of production of child pornography, a class A felony; three counts of sexual abuse of a child less than 12, a class B felony; 20 counts of possession of child pornography, a class C felony; and one count of bestiality, a class A misdemeanor.

No further information about the investigation or about Park’s alleged crimes other than that stated in the indictment may be released at this time.

If convicted, Park faces penalties of 10 years to life imprisonment or 99 years for each count of production of child pornography, two to 20 years for each count of sexual abuse of a child, one to 10 years for possession of child pornography and up to one year for bestiality, a class A misdemeanor.
