Pearl Police Investigators announced that a man was charged with sex crimes against a minor.
He was identified as 21-year-old Nicholas P. Webb, from Pearl. Webb was charged with two counts of Sexual Battery on a juvenile under 14-years-old and one count of Statutory Rape of a juvenile under 14-years-old.
53-year-old Steven Wesley Webb and 54-year-old Stephanie Aultman Webb, both from Pearl, were also charged with one count each of Felonious Child Abuse. Their charges stem from having alleged knowledge of the crimes and not notifying authorities.
All three suspects were arrested on August 25, and transported to the Rankin County Detention Center. This case will be presented to the Rankin County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
