NORTHAMPTON - A Huntington man accused of providing alcohol to a young girl and committing statutory rape has been ordered held on $5,000 bail, or $50,000 surety, after his arraignment in District Court Tuesday.
According to court documents, Charles Fox Jr., 34, of 15 Stanton Ave. in Huntington, pleaded innocent Tuesday to two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, two counts of selling or delivering alcohol to a minor and two counts of statutory rape of a child.
Fox, who is reportedly married and employed by the U.S. Army, was arrested after a Northampton woman filed a complaint alleging that the offenses occurred on or before Sept. 15, 2008, court documents said.
Because the victim is a minor, the probable cause statement in the case is sealed. Fox is scheduled to reappear in court for a pretrial hearing July 30.
