LOXLEY, Ala. An investigation into the activities of a Loxley man has put him behind bars and he is currently being held on a bond set at $1.4 million
Daniel Hartman, 32, who was previously arrested, is once again the Baldwin County Detention Center after being arrested in connection with child sex abuse crimes.
At the time of this arrest, he was out on bond after his arrest last May.
Hartman, 32, now faces a half a dozen child sex crimes involving children under the age of 12.
Originally arrested last year on similar charges, a Baldwin County Grand Jury returned indictments on more than half a dozen crimes, including rape, sodomy, child abuse, and facilitating travel of a child for a sex act.
Investigators say that these crimes are extremely serious and that he will likely remain incarcerated until trial.
At least four victims and date back to 2014, according to Assistant District Attorney Sydnee Corello. She says the victims were not picked at random.
“We rarely have a case where someone is assaulting someone randomly,” ADA Corello said. “We do have those cases, but especially with our child victim cases, they are going to know the child, they are going to have a relationship with the parent to give them access.”
This time, the judge ordered that Harman would have to had to pay the new bond in cash if he wanted to be released before his trial.
