SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Authorities say a Springfield man began abusing a girl on the same day he was released from prison after serving eight years for child molestation.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that 36-year-old Joshua Fullington was charged earlier this month with three counts of statutory sodomy after authorities say he sexually abused a girl several times over a five-year period.
Court documents show Fullington was released from prison Aug. 22, 2012. Court documents in the most recent case say a girl younger than 15 told Child Advocacy Center interviewers this month that Fullington had been sexually abusing her.
