JACKSON COUNTY, FL (WTXL) - A 59-year-old man wanted for multiple sexual abuse reports is being held under a $1.5 million bond after turning himself in.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Department has charged Ralph Fox Jr. with four counts of lewd and lascivious molestation. Fox also faces fourteen counts of manufacturing and possession of child pornography.

Last Monday, the Sheriff's Department got involved with a sexual abuse report that alleged that Fox had inappropriately touched two children. The following Thursday, deputies said they found out that he left the county while they were working on an arrest warrant.

On Sunday, Fox turned himself in. He is being held on $1.5 million bond and is awaiting his first court appearance.
