A 67-year-old man has been indicted in the sex abuse of multiple young children in Tuscaloosa County.

Jackie Lee Adkins, who was living in West Virginia at the time of the indictments, is charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, first-degree sexual abuse and two counts of sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12.

Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Capt. Jack Kennedy said the investigation began several months ago with one young victim. While the investigation was ongoing, three additional child victims were identified.

Few details have been released but the rape indictment accuses Adkins of sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 12.

Documents don’t say when the alleged crimes took place.

The indictments were issued April 2, records show, and Adkins was then taken into custody in West Virginia’s Boone County.

He was extradited to the Tuscaloosa County Jail and remains held on $500,000 bond.

Kennedy said the investigation is ongoing. He asked anyone who may have been a victim or knows of any possible abuse by Adkins to call detectives at 205-464-8690.
