Arrest Made In Child Sexual Abuse

Allegations that an underage girl was the victim of sex offenses over a four-year period led to the January 3rd arrest of a Kingman man.

50-year-old Jody Shoup was booked into the Mohave County Adult Detention Center on sexual assault and child molestation charges.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said the Department of Child Services requested assistance and that Shoup was arrested after Shoup was interviewed by detectives.
