MOBILE, Ala. Police have arrested a Gulf Shores man, charging him with sexual torture.
Clinton Rowell, 29, is charged with four counts of sexual torture, along with felony domestic violence charges after police responded to a domestic violence call on March 22nd, 2026, in the 1600 block of Hillcrest Road.
Mobile police did not release most details of the incident because of the nature of the charges and did not want to identify the victim in this incident.
The Gulf Shores man has been accused of violence against women according to public records and has been arrested for domestic violence against women in Baldwin and Mobile Counties.
Rowell was charged with strangulation of a woman until she passed out in Baldwin County last year.
Although arrested on similar charges numerous times, Rowell has escaped long term incarceration including in 2023 when Rowell pleaded guilty to domestic violence strangulation and was sentenced to 15 years, but it was suspended to five years’ probation.
Currently, Rowell is being held in the metro jail without bond and his preliminary hearing in Mobile County is set for May 14, 2026.
In Baldwin County, the District Attorney’s Office is asking to revoke his probation and have him serve the 15-year sentence that he was given in 2023.
