BOONEVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – A Booneville man is in the Prentiss County Jail, charged with two sex crimes.
The investigation began in late June when Booneville police took a report of a sexual assault on a minor.
The Criminal Investigation Division took up the case and identified 51-year-old Jessie Wayne Stewart of Booneville as a suspect.
Investigators also learned of allegations of a second, unrelated offense that had led to Stewart being arrested in July.
