HOOVER, AL – Six more charges have been filed against a Hoover man who was arrested last week in connection with the sexual abuse of a child.
The Hoover Police Department reports that in addition to charges in Shelby County, Jason Hankins has been charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, production of child pornography, first-degree sexual abuse, sexual abuse of a child less than 12 years of age and electronic solicitation of a child.
The Hoover Police Department says the additional charges involve the same victim, and a higher bond was secured due to the “horrific nature of the offenses, the age of the victim and the need to protect the community and other potential victims.”
They report he recently resigned from his job at the Family Life Center at Shades Crest Baptist Church.
