TEXARKANA, Texas - A Nash, Texas, man accused of molesting an infant and two teen girls is being held in the Bowie County jail with bail set at $400,000.
David Louis Jones, 24, was first interviewed by an investigator with Nash police Feb. 23, according to a probable cause affidavit. When asked if he had inappropriately touched a 1-year-old girl born in May 2018, Jones allegedly wrote the word, "Yes," on a piece of paper.
Jones allegedly confessed to molesting the baby, to whom he is related, on repeated occasions when left alone with her from the time of the girl's birth. In a phone interview the following month, Jones allegedly admitted to having sexual encounters for about a year with a 14-year-old girl multiple times over a months-long period beginning in the fall of 2019 and ending in January.
"Jones stated that he knew what he was doing was wrong but couldn't comprehend how something that felt so good was wrong," the affidavit states.
Investigators allegedly found nude photos of the girl on Jones' phone as well as an audio file that demonstrated illegal sexual contact with the girl. Jones allegedly confessed to having one inappropriate sexual encounter with a different teen girl in 2014 when he was 19 or 20 and she was 15.
Bail on the aggravated sexual assault of a child charge involving the baby is set at $200,000 and bail on the two counts of sexual assault of a child involving the teens is set at $100,000 on each count. Court records show Jones has been in custody since March 24.
The case is currently assigned to 102nd District Judge Jeff Addison. The Bowie County Public Defenders Office is listed as representing Jones.
