Man indicted on child sex crime

A Tyler County grand jury indicted a man on one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Billy Baker, 49, of Fred, was indicted on Nov. 10 after District Attorney Lucas Babin presented the case to the grand jury.

Baker was arrested and booked into the Tyler County Jail. Justice of the Peace Milton Powers set bond at $350,000, along with numerous bond conditions.

A grand jury indictment does not mean that the person named in the indictment is guilty of any crime. It only indicates that grand jurors felt enough evidence existed to merit a trial.
